I use JDS 1.0, different versions of 1.4.2_x JDK. clean userdir Sometimes (1 from 10 cases) the IDE starts without explorer window opened. It's then not possible to open projects window or files window. I have to restart and everything works fine.
This is quite a problem, because the IDE is unusable after start.
do you have the explorer window all the way to the right? I mean is there a split on the right edge of the window?
IMO should be fixed in trunk. the explorer was actually displayed but editor took 100 percent of the split. (the split devider was all the way to the left) so technically explorer was open but invisible practically. shall not happen after the changes. please reopen if it does in dev build 040524 and later.
verified - didn't happen for some time
