The choice of tree vs columns is more a user preference than per file basis. The choice of the view (tree vs columns) should be persisted. Persist the choice of tree vs columns view. The last user choice (within the IDE) should be used for a newly opened editor. The choice should be persisted per editor type (for XSD and WSDL editors individually). http://xdesign-tools.czech.sun.com/usability/jse/jse9-coke-endToEnd/report.html#ChoiceOfViewPersisted
