Description:

ProjectViews basically offer two functionalities:

  - keep a group of windows in order to organize the desktop
    (I am not sure, if this is really a useful feature, now that we
     have modern windowManagers which have multiple desktops as well).

    All views as created while a project is active are remembered
    and can be hidden/shown altogether.
    (this has nothing to do with windowGroups)

    Also, it is possible to close down all those windows (by destroying the project).

  - keep defaults for various system activities:
            - the fileOut directory (i.e. where the SystemBrowser creates fileOut sources)

            - keep the source module/package
                thats the default offered when classes are checkedIn the very first time

            - keep a default package-identifier assigned when classes/methods are created/modified.
                thats mostly useful to browse all classes/methods that have been touched
                in a projects context

            - keep a per-project changeList

  - allow opening a browser on all classes/methods which were created or modified
    while a project was active.

  - allow opening a browser on this projects changeList (which contains the subset of changes
     which were done while this project was active)

  - allow removal of all classes/methods which have the current projects packageIdentifier
