Description Lars Vogel CLA 2012-01-28 16:42:49 EST 
Mylyn should store the editor position in a file and restore it during task activation.
Comment 1 Édouard Lopez CLA 2012-01-29 13:01:48 EST 
Would fancy to have this functionnality, currently it's really annoying to manually restore editors' position.

Are you referring to the editor position within the workbench window or the cursor position? The latter is supported for editors that persist that state (e.g. Java editor, text editor). Editors need to implement IPersistableEditor to provide this functionality.
Comment 3 Lars Vogel CLA 2012-03-08 16:26:16 EST 
I guess you depend on Bug 373094
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-03-11 10:52:47 EDT 
This bug looks like a duplicate of  bug 373094 and bug 166644 or this there anything specific that is not covered on those two bugs, yet?
Comment 5 Lars Vogel CLA 2012-03-12 04:37:04 EDT 
If the XML editor stores its caret position, is there anything Mylyn need to do to restore it?

Once the XML editor stores that state using IPersistableEditor this will start working with Mylyn. We don't have any specific support for particular editor types.
Comment 7 Lars Vogel CLA 2012-03-12 06:10:19 EDT 
I guess in this case you can close this one.
Comment 8 Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-03-12 06:30:07 EDT 
Thanks. This will start working once bug 373094 is resolved.
