PersistenceDelegate

PersistenceDelegate is available since 1.2.0 and it's an interface that provides useful methods to save and load the tool window manager's workspace. When you request to save the workspace, all settings of toolwindows, and not only, with relative descriptors are saved. See the specific DTD, relative to the version of mydoggy that you are using, to know all information saved.

To obtain the instance of the PersistenceDelegate for a specific ToolWindowManager use the following: 

PersistenceDelegate pstDelegate = twManager.getPersistenceDelegate();

MyDoggy arrives with a default implementation provided by

org.noos.xing.mydoggy.plaf.persistence.xml.XMLPersistenceDelegate

This implementation use the xml format to store all necessary data.

Here is an example of a saved workspace.
