To clarify what I'm talking about here (I realised there was some confusion after Slack chat with Michael). Using New Group / Folder of Projects in NB31 already results in recursive auto opening of all contained projects. We don't need to add this ability, we need to limit it. It's fun choosing the NetBeans code root out of curiosity. It even opens all the test projects. Only 15min of indexing and ~40 error dialogs. :-) To be fair, it does do exactly what it says in the Create New Group dialog, but if we're going to front and centre this in the UI it definitely needs limiting before anyone decides it's a good idea to open their home folder as a workspace.
