Currently, VCM adds the "Show Version Info" titlebar menu option to each navigaor-type view. The setting of this option must be performed on each navigator and the settings are not persisted accross platform shutdown/startup. Perhaps we should add a global option to the preferences page instead of or as well as menu option. NOTES:

Sadly, I don't think this is possible. This action is contributed to a view (that we don't own) in XML code, and its initial state CANNOT be determined by running some of our code, since the plugin is not even loaded at that point. We can only say 'true' or 'false' in the XML to determine its initial state, rather than determine it dynamically. Perhaps we need to change the default to 'true'. If people aren't using VCM, then they won't see any difference (it doesn't decorate non-shared projects). If they are using VCM, chances are this information is useful to them.
Based on user input, the default value has been changed to 'true'. Logged a separate PR in JDT requesting similar functionality for the Packages view. Fixed in v206
Undoing change per KM's request, approval pending.

Closing PR. The new 2.0 codebase uses the UI Decorators facility. The state of decorators is persisted between invocations of the workbench, providing the functionality you request. No changes will be made to the 1.0 codebase.
