FAQ Close All Editors On Shutdown
From Eclipsepedia
The snippet below will close all Editors in the workbench when you close the eclipse application.
IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench(); final IWorkbenchPage activePage = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage(); workbench.addWorkbenchListener( new IWorkbenchListener() { public boolean preShutdown( IWorkbench workbench, boolean forced ) { activePage.closeEditors( activePage.getEditorReferences(), true); return true; } public void postShutdown( IWorkbench workbench ) { } });
The example below shows how to close an editor that is programmatically opened.
IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench(); final IWorkbenchPage activePage = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage(); //See FAQ How do I open an editor programmatically? IEditorPart editorPart = IDE.openEditorOnFileStore( activePage, fileStore ); workbench.addWorkbenchListener( new IWorkbenchListener() { public boolean preShutdown( IWorkbench workbench, boolean forced ) { activePage.closeEditors( activePage.getEditorReferences(), true); return true; } public void postShutdown( IWorkbench workbench ) { } });
