Eclipse doesn't remember my opened files

Question

My problem is quiet simple: whenever I close eclipse and reopen it, it doesn't remember my opened files. It does remember the state of windows and perspective, but not the files. I've been working around this quiet a long time, googling, looking through prefs and stackoverflowing, but no way. Even reinstalling a new version (Ganymede->Helios) the problem persists; I also tried to delete "workbench.xml" and eclipse rebuilt it with same result.

Answer 1

Look in : Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors and see if the Close Editors Autommatically is checked. If it is , uncheck it.
