No, that's not likely to happen. The breadcrumbs are implements with "APIs" that are internal to the Java Development Tools and can't generally be reused by an other framework; the implement is generic and could in principle be reused, but they're not API intended to be reused.

Thanks for your reply, the crumb bar that I think should be much similar to the crumb bar in VSCode or the address bar of windows files explorer, namely, any file can be navigated with that bar, and only unsaved new file doesn't show it, click the ">" symbol, a list of files will show, and I can choose from the list and jump to any of these files.

So, no need to navigate the method or other fields, just navigate the file, in other words, a "file path analyser and jumping tool" or sth. else...

Yes, but as I said, there is no reusable framework component to implement this. Each and every editor will need to implement it and only the Java editor has such a nice implementation currently (which is not reusable).
