At startup, NB 4.1 loses the status of expanded projects/packages in the projects window. I mean, I am working on several files and several packages. Packages on which I am working are expanded. If I close and restart NB, every project is now collapsed. Althought I can quickly reexpand the package with "contextual menu into editor>select into>projects" (that is a very nice feature), this defect is somehow deceiptive.
If you want to keep expansion, please use next switch on your command line or write to the netbeans.conf file : -J-Dnetbeans.keep.expansion=true We've turned off this feature by default, because it takes long time to startup with a lot off expanded folders and looks ugly (see issue 55701) *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 55701 ***
