Problem with persistence of window state between sessions

[beauforthax]

Hello,

Probably, since I updated Netbeans or JDK (but not sure it is
a reason of problems), there is a problem with persistence
of window state between sessions.
Before, when I changed something (eg. table's size of column,
SplitPane splitter position), closed the application and then
started it again, all settings were the same as I set.
Now, when I close my application, no settings from main form
are stored -- when I run app again, it looks "default".
On my app's menu, there is "about box" and one simple dialog
with table -- state of these two is stored and restored properly
(even, after closing application, two files are created:
Form.session.xml and aboutBox.session.xml -- these two
I paste below; there is not created any file which seemed
to be connected with main form).

The problem is both under Windows XP and Fedora 9.

My configuration:
Windows XP: jdk1.6.0_02, netbeans 6.1
Fedora 9: jdk1.6.0_06

I would be glad if you could provide me with some solution.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Beaufort Hax

table
and button available on menu):

Hello,

Hi. When I read the title, I was curious as to
whether you meant a client side, or server side
Java app. that you were writing. It turns out..

Probably, since I updated Netbeans or JDK (but not sure it is
a reason of problems), there is a problem with persistence
of window state between sessions.

State of *what* window? The Netbeans window?

If it is Netbeans specifically, you might best
try one of the Netbeans forums.

<http://www.netbeans.org/community/lists/top.html>

Actually, they all seem to be mailing-lists,
rather than web browsable forums, but do a
quick Google and you'll see a few interesting
hits under 'netbeans forum'.
