That is a very creative solution; Perhaps you guys could nail down a
solid set of requirements and we can see if we can modify uDig to meet
your needs.
It is my hope that projects that do not require an Open / Save / Close
lifecycle will use a MapView. I feel that your issue is actually with
the Open / Save / Close lifecycle of Eclipse RCP editors; rather than
the uDig program being incorrect?
I think another way to accomplish your goal would be to insert your own
startup and shutdown hooks that closed all the maps. I think that may be
how maps are managed right now (or it may just be part of Eclipse RCP)
we will need to ask Jesse.

Hi Stephen,
Our short-cut to this in an uDig RCP Extension, is launching the application
from a .bat file [1] (of course in windows ;-)) in the /eclipse directory.
This .bat file deletes the workspace directory, and run udig.exe afterwards.
Another advantage of doing this is that you can manage memory params as well.
We know this is not the best way of doing this, so may be someone can give us a
more advanced help about this issue.
On the other hand, we are trying to start blank default project with different
default preferences parameters without editing uDig source code. Does anyone
know how to do that?
[1] .bat file:
...
rd /Q /S workspace
udig.exe -clean -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx256m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m
-Dosgi.parentClassloader=ext
...
Thanks for any help,
Javi.

I want to start up my uDig application each time with a blank (empty) default project with no contained maps (and then populate a new
project programmatically). However, uDig saves its state on shutdown and restores it on startup. How can I circumvent this functionality
and have uDig start up "clean" every time?
