Currently we have only private "isSliding" property in TopComponent. Better solution is to create regular API for modules to be able to find out their sliding state and perhaps also slide in/hidden state. This task involves studying various user actions which are sensitive to sliding state of top component, for example action that opens new java source and also selects it in explorer - if explorer is in sliding state, explorer selection will slide it in, which is not desirable.
Yo, still valid.
