In Eclipse 3.5.X and before the Project Explorer preserved the folding (folded or unfolded) status of the projects. It is a usefull behaviour, every time i start eclipse i need to setup my working directorys (unfold them) to, so i can not restart my work where i left Eclipse last time.

Since i use multiple Eclipse windows, i am used to configure both project-explorer Trees differently. One Window is for logic and focuses backend-code and one is for Layout and focuces on frontend-code. I need to restore each folding manually, every time i (re)start eclipse.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. fold and unfold some directories from your favourite project X
2. restart eclipse
3. eclipse shows your favourite Project X all folded.
