HI Marek, thank you for the quick response
As far as i can see there is a TopComponent "projectTabLogical_tc"
The explorer.wsmode look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mode PUBLIC
"-//NetBeans//DTD Mode Properties 2.0//EN"
"
http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/mode-properties2_0.dtd">
<mode version="2.0">
<module name="org.netbeans.modules.projectui" spec="1.1" />
<name unique="explorer" />
<kind type="view" />
<state type="joined" />
<constraints>
<path orientation="horizontal" number="20" weight="0.3" />
<path orientation="vertical" number="20" weight="0.5" />
</constraints>
<relative-bounds x="10" y="24" width="23" height="37" />
<active-tc id="projectTabLogical_tc"/>
<empty-behavior permanent="true" />
</mode>
The projectTabLogical_tc.wstcref fie look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE tc-ref PUBLIC
"-//NetBeans//DTD Top Component in Mode Properties 2.0//EN"
"
http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/tc-ref2_0.dtd">
<tc-ref version="2.0">
<module name="org.netbeans.modules.projectui" spec="1.0" />
<tc-id id="projectTabLogical_tc" />
<state opened="true" />
</tc-ref>
Except the <state opened="true" /> line was "false", i changed it to "true", with the result that projectTabLogical_tcWstcref.xml file was created in one of my module packages.
