Build Identifier: While it can be nice to see all the files I have touched in a smaller project, it becomes cumbersome when working in larger projects (i.e. multi module maven builds). I often times want the project explorer minimized except the files that I want to see. It would be nice if expand/collapse was honored by the task focused view. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with a project within eclipse, preferably large to demonstrate the point better but should not matter. 2. Activate a task 3. Open a file from the project explorer view. The file gets added to this context and the project explorer expands to reveal that file. 4. Minimize all the trees 5. Open another file. Again the project expands and reveals the file you opened. It also expands to reveal the previous file that was minimized.
+1 I agree that manually collapsed nodes should not be automatically expanded unless a child node becomes interesting. There are patches on bug 267143 that implement this but as far as I remember the changes caused expand not to work as expected in a few corner cases so we didn't apply them. It could be worth taking another look into this.
