My workspaces are hierarchically deep enough that it would be really

I would not have to re-click down to my source code and other items that
I'm currently working on.

The list of files I'm editing is remembered and the file are all ready
to go in the center pane, but down the left pane in the Package Explorer
everything is closed up.

I've looked for a preference. Is there just no way to force Eclipse to
remember this?

If you have the "Link with Editor" button enabled (it is on the View toolbar of the Package Explorer and other views, with an icon that looks like two yellow arrows pointing left and right), the view will keep its selection in sync with the current editor. That should give you pretty much the behavior you want.

Hope this helps,
