Description Jesse Glick 2001-09-17 22:38:02 UTC 
[dev sep 12] The window system is out of control saving components for
TopComponent's which are not open, and have not been open in a long
time. I see under ~/nbdev/system/windows/components/ 3.7Kb settings
files for *every Java source* I have ever opened as well as other
components (about 285 total)! Clearly this information is worthless
and it is cluttering up my system directory. I would personally vote
to never keep information about closed TCs at all, at least never on
disk ~ after an IDE restart.

Unfortunately, other people wants their closed top components to be
serialized, so that for example component palette is reopened with
same properties like bounds etc.
Clearly, there's a need to differentiate between "static" and
"dynamic" types of top components. I'm trying to do so with
isPersistent() now for persistence.
