Would need to be a SystemAction implementing MenuPresenter with a JInlineMenu so that it would have as many entries as needed. Some configurable number of entries. I guess should take them from the DataObject.Registry or whatever it is, i.e. all DataObjects that are modified. Should show each menu item as the icon + display name of the DataNode, as in Explorer.
Changing from LATER to OPEN. Converted to ENH. Do we want to do it?
Maybe should be handled by some module and not part of core...
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.
It could be usefull ...

Probably very connected to our functionality of Shift-F4 - e.g. list of open documents. This action would just track the list and if something goes away from it, it would know it should be displayed here. CCing Dafe to share his opinion.
Yes we have this issue in a plan for next release, passing to probable responsible engineer. Btw I agree with the way of implementation that jarda suggested.
Taking back, I'll try to implement this as Standa has a lot of other tasks to do.
I wrote mini-UI spec, available at http://core.netbeans.org/proposals/recent-files-ui-spec.html Please read and comment if you have time, I'm also posting UI spec to UI review. Implementation side: IMO best place for implementation is openfile module, maybe new winsys API will be needed for easier tracking of closed TopComponents. Interesting part is also how to recognize TopComponents (well their files) to track. Not all TopComponents in editor area belong here (Welcome for example).
I just integrated implementation of UI spec above to the main trunk. Implementation is divided into UI part (menu action) and "history engine" so that we can possibly use the engine for popup view with quick search over file history.

We (SunStudio) would like this fix to be backported to 5.5.1.
OK, after offline discussions we understand importance of this enhancement for SunStudio, I'll prepare the merge into release 551.
Unfortunately, there are issues with backport - feature code uses Preferences API and WindowManager API which is new in 6.0, so code would have to be rewritten to use older API. IMHO risk of such solution is relatively high.
We (Sun Studio) agree not to backport the fix to 551. I will remove the MARS keyword.
Removed MARS keyword.
Thank you for your understanding and enjoy Recently used files list in 6.0. Thanks.
