Bug 551676 - avoid stack overflow on working set updater restore

With the changes from commit f638d309e065aa92f1b3616728e174b5ed7c4488 we
may run into endless loop if the IPropertyChangeListener installed on
AbstractWorkingSetManager trigger working set API's during working set
restore operation.

The recursion is possible because the current working set design has a
major flaw - it allows events to be triggered on not yet fully created
working sets (see bug 479217).

The recursion is possible via this call stack:

WorkingSet.restoreWorkingSet(WorkingSet.java:151)
AbstractWorkingSet.getElementsArray(AbstractWorkingSet.java:166)
AbstractWorkingSet.isEmpty(AbstractWorkingSet.java:200)
BAD_CLIENT.propertyChange()
AbstractWorkingSetManager$5.run(AbstractWorkingSetManager.java:378)
AbstractWorkingSetManager.firePropertyChange(AbstractWorkingSetManager.java:391)
AbstractWorkingSetManager.getUpdater(AbstractWorkingSetManager.java:725)
WorkingSet.getUpdater(WorkingSet.java:314)
WorkingSet.restoreWorkingSet(WorkingSet.java:151)

To avoid the recursion on restore, we fix the getUpdater() so that it
remembers just created working set *before* sending an event to the
listeners. This way the next call to getUpdater() will return already
created instance, instead of creating new one, and recursion does not
occure.

Contributing to Eclipse Platform UI project

Thanks for your interest in this project.

Project description:

Platform UI provides the basic building blocks for user interfaces built with Eclipse.

Some of these form the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) and can be used for arbitrary rich client applications, while others are specific to the Eclipse IDE. The Platform UI codebase is built on top of the Eclipse Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT), which is developed as an independent project.

Website: http://www.eclipse.org/platform/ui/

For more information, refer to the Platform UI wiki page.
