org.jboss.tools.jst.web.ui.internal.editor.jspeditor.JSPMultiPageEditor
Method createPages() in the end calls checkPalette(). It is implemented so that it opens Palette in this forced way only once ever for the workspace. As soon as user closes Palette view, it should be opened manually. I think the same approach would be consistent for Batch Editor + Properties.
Though, there is one difference. Palette is shown in the section to the right of the editor which it shares with only Outline. Properties is shown in the bottom section shared by a lot of views, so that it is quite probably that another view in the bottom is selected. Maybe, on making sure that Properties is not selected, we can show dialog asking 'Properties view is very useful for Batch Diagram, would you like to open it now?', and of course with check box 'Never show this dialog again' or 'Remember my choice'.

> Users have problems to find where to edit properties like item readers or batchlet refs.
> If the Properties view is not open when editor is started, they do not have the idea to use it.
> So I suggest to open it always when diagram is opened or changes its inner model element. Or do you have a better idea?
