The latest
build of Eclipse has re-added a
feature that I had been missing since the M4 or so. This feature is a
linking of location between the Package view and the current
editor. You've always been able to double-click on a class in the
package explorer and have it bring that class up in the
editor. What you used to be able to do, and what you can do again, is
to have the package view updated based on your location. So if I'm
editing Foo and then I click on the tab for Bar, the
package view will now show that I'm in Bar. This is now a toggle
instead of being foisted upon those who don't like it. If you install
this latest version (remember to do it like this)
you'll now see a little icon on the top of the package explorer that
looks like this
I'm really glad this is back because I missed it. But I'm also glad
that there's a toggle switch because there were times that this
behavior was a real pain.
