Hi, I like the concept of working sets. However there is one think that I am missing.

I would like to have the option to set a working set for the whole workspace on one place. Currently if I select a working set e.g. in 'package explorer' than it does not mean that the same working set will be used in 'open type' or 'search dialog'. I have to set the working set on each of the places where it can be used separately. This is causing a delay in my work because I never can be sure which working set is selected in which component.

I think that some sort of 'central working set selection' where one could set working set for all possible components that are using this concept would be nice.

Of course the option to explicitly select different working set for a specific component would remain.

And having an info about 'centrally selected working set' e.g. in status bar and info in every component that it has a different working set from the central one would be also nice.

Reproducible: Always

I guess, this is a feature-request for the window working set, witch is already available ...

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got
resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some
reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it.
The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you
still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is
(for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
