====== Netbeans 8 Collapse all in projects and files ======

(I mean collapse all and when you reopen the root node every folder/subfolder is really closed.)

Sound strange but lots of people are asking for this simple feature (present on Eclipse) because on large projects it's a pain having to bring order closing every single sub-node.
Unfortunately, if you collapse a node __it only hides__ the children and when you click it again all the children are still there, in the same status as before.

===== Problem solved =====

The Netbeans team solved the problem on some panels but few developers know that because it's still undocumented. I track it down rooting everywhere and finally finding the info in the Netbeans bugzilla website where I discovered this black magic formula:\\
<WRAP center round box 60%>
Open the desired window (es CTRL+1 per Project)\\
CTRL+SPACE\\
SHIFT F10\\
</WRAP>

Do it and you'll se the Collapse all item in the menu.

On that info I then discovered a simpler way by myself:\\
you only have to **right click in the empty space __before__ the arrow!** :-D
