Right; you may wish to host your "one map" in a view rather then an
open/save/close editor. We have two tutorials showing how to do this in the
example code section. Basically the MapViewer components works in a similar
fashion to a JFace viewer control; you can drop it in a view as required and
not be subject to open/save/close.
Jesse was for these examples as part of a training course he offered for a
client, he may be able to offer more guidance. But I encourage you to check out
the uDig source code and run the examples to see how they work.

If you wanted an evil hack you could try a MapInterceptor of some sort that
automatically saves the Map as it is about to be closed; and modifying your
application "ini" file to include the -clean option to remove the project
workspace.
