Description Vijay Aravamudhan CLA 2008-01-22 12:00:32 EST 
The EditorPosition plugin (https://eclipseutilplugins.dev.java.net/) provides a neat feature. Basically, when I browse through different classes/text files, this plugin remembers the cursor position when the editor is closed. This is useful when I reopen the class in a new editor, the cursor is placed automatically at the remembered position. Unfortunately, the code is no longer being maintained - since there is no response/activity from the developer. Would this be easily implementable within the Eclipse core project?

Daniel - for comment #3 FROM bug 127145: I dont think this (127145) is a duplicate of bug 124615. That one deals with the ACTIVE editor being chosen when the workbench was closed. The functionality that is being requested in this bug is to remember the line and character position of the cursor and restore that when an editor is opened or reopened (both within the same runtime session or on a later run).
I apoligize for reopening the bug - since it is NOT a duplicate. But since I was not the reporter of 127145, I am unable to reopen that one.

We won't do this. You can register your own action that does this if you really want to have such feature.
