Application crash results in a loss of IDE state - project group contents and open file sets are not remembered correctly. Symptoms suggest that the IDE state is not being written to storage safely whilst the application is running. If this *is* the cause of the problem, then NetBeans should be modified to write the data out on each successful state change rather than held in memory until Exit.
