[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HBX-377) Can't save HQL Scratchpad

Can't save HQL Scratchpad ------------------------- Key: HBX-377 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-377 Project: Hibernate Tools Type: Bug

Components: consoleconfiguration Versions: 3.1alpha5 Environment: Windows XP, Eclipse 3.1 Reporter: Dan Bradley Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.2beta7

There is no way to save a non-empty HQL Scratchpad or otherwise mark it non-dirty. To reproduce: - Open a scratchpad window, it's non-dirty. - Enter anything into it, it's now dirty, as shown by the asterisk in front of the name on its tab. - Try to save it, it doesn't save, and its dirty state does not change. - Many Eclipse tasks will now ask you to save it before proceeding - Try to close it, Eclipse prompts you to save. Say no and the editor closes. But say yes and it also closes also without saving. More broadly, I'm not sure about the UI approach. What does it mean to save a scratchpad? Do I have to save it to a file? It's a scratchpad after all, not something I want to keep around. But I do want multiple scratchpads to be available. If I save it and it uses some hidden temporary file, that seems like an abuse of the Eclipse editor window. Maybe the scratchpad should be an Eclipse view that can be embedded in the Console Perspective, and which doesn't track a dirty/non-dirty state?
