For special uses of the IDE, workspace concept shouldn't be visible to the user. It would be desirable to have ability to hide workspace switcher so that user is not bothered with existence of workspaces.

*** Issue 11889 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
The funcioanlity is there. It is needed just to decide how it should look like. Whether some switch at starting, or new option should be created. For ui.
- ui discussion which switcher should be default - hide/show of switcher (and switcher type) will be manipulated through instance file in toolbar layer - try to make existing workspace switcher subclass of JToolbar, get inspiration from combo switcher (if nbui decide not to go with new combo switcher)
Todo: - add creation factory method for Workspaceswitcher, to be callable from xml layer - specify xml layer to put WSwitcher to toolbar - remove harcoded wswitcher from main window - modify xml layer for status line to be put into toolbar - assure that option small_main_window works correctly (add handling) - assure that switcher looks still the same (maybe we'll need to implement JToolbar bridge to WorkspaceSwitcher)
Sidenotes for implementation issues: 1) startup command option "netbeans.windows.nostatusline" is removed, disabling of status line now can be done through regular toolbar manipulation (e.g. disable toolbar called statusline) 2) startup command option "netbeans.windows.small_main_window" works as usual.
implemented in main trunk.
Is it possible to put the status bar at bottom by the layer file as well or is too much asking. Normally (specially on windows) ppl excpect the status bar to be at the bottom.
Implementation verified in the trunk builds.
reopening, implementation rollbacked because of major problems from ui prespective.
tags around rollback: toolbar_wsswitcher_before_rollback toolbar_wsswitcher_after_rollback
another try to fix #8617. For IDE things remains the same, in platform there is possibility to configure position, existence of workspace switcher and status line through layers like for regular toolbars.
ok, verified
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
