Description Jaroslav Tulach 2011-02-22 18:07:56 UTC 
This is not really useful for end user (although it might be for power user), but applications written on top of NetBeans Platform might find the ability to ask the window system to reload its configuration useful.

I am attaching patch, how such API (e.g. an action in this case) might look like.

Comment 4 AngeloD 2014-12-03 17:14:04 UTC 
The proposed solution does not trigger the loading of the TopComponents settings.

The unit tests provided check only  if the action is there but not that indeed work.
A test like the following should be added:

    @Test

    public void testSomeMethod() {

        TestTopComponent tc = new TestTopComponent();
        -- change TopComponent to state 1--

       FileObject fo = FileUtil.getConfigFile("Actions/Window/org-netbeans-core-windows-actions-   SaveWindowsAction.instance");

        assertNotNull("Action is found", fo);

        Action action = (Action) fo.getAttribute("instanceCreate");

        action.actionPerformed(null);

        -- change TopComponent to state 2--

        fo = FileUtil.getConfigFile("Actions/Window/org-netbeans-core-windows-actions-ReloadWindowsAction.instance");

        assertNotNull("Action is found", fo);

        action = (Action) fo.getAttribute("instanceCreate");

        action.actionPerformed(null);

        assertTrue (--- TopComponent has state 1--);

    }

Sample application to reproduce the problem

Start the application

Press the red button to change the background of the panel to red

Press the save button to save the settings

Press the black button to change the background of the panel to black

Press the reload button, the background of the panel should go back to red, but it stays black.

The save/reload functionality works as expected for the windows positions.
