If Eclipse or my machine crashes the workspace state, including the open editors, views, perspective, etc. are not maintained when Eclipse is restarted. I'd like to request that the platform perform a periodic save of the state/preferences set while working. I'm not sure everything that is saves when the workspace is closed needs to be saved but admittedly am not sure.

The Platform/Resources component periodically saves the data that it needs in order to recover from a crash. (a list of the projects you have, their locations, markers, sync info, etc)

Other components are given an opportunity to participate in the saving/snapshotting via the ISaveParticipant mechanism. Moving to Platform/UI to consider saving workbench state during a snapshot.

Verified that this is a dup of bug 2369. I'll track the status through that bug.
