I have an Eclipse RCP application which allows the user to open multiple windows. Within each of these, I have a bunch of editors which extend org.eclipse.ui.part.MultiPageEditorPart.
By default, the platform seems to allow the user to drag and drop my editors between Windows. This is potentially useful, but at the moment my app has certain assumptions about which window code is being executed from, and moving editors around like this can violate those assumptions.
Is there a facility in the Eclipse RCP to disable drag and drop of editors betweeen windows? Currently we’re based on Eclipse 3.7, but we’re aiming to move to the 4.x series very soon, so I’ll accept an answer for either.
Lack of answers suggests ‘no’. Eclipse bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=386250
