This is a glaring shortcoming of the editor environment in my opinion.
I hope someone is working on allowing split views in the same window
for the same file.

I can use Bookmarks to get to info in different parts of the same
file, but a split view of the same file would be more convenient. At
least the return from the bookmark typically lands the cursor at the
same insertion point where I was editing.

But there is already a patch for 3.0.1

Thanks, I downloaded the patch. The instructions say:

"To patch it is best to download a clean eclipse binary install kit,
unpack it, then unpack this zip to a temporary folder on your
filesystem. copy the org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor_3.0.1 folder
into the newly installed eclipse plugin directory to overwrite the
current workbench.texteditor plugin. Next, use the clasess under
"classes" to update the jar in the org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.0.1 to
have the new WorkbenchPage and IWorkbenchPage classes."

I do not understand the last sentence. What action am I supposed to do
to make the plug-in work? It currently doesn't do anything as I don't
follow the last sentence of the above. How do you "update the jar"?

Ok, I used WinZip to add to the workbench.jar the WorkbenchPage and
IWorkbenchPage classes. However, Ctrl-2 still doesn't do anything...

Anyone got this working with Eclipse 3.0.1 and CDT 2.0.2?

Well, this is a nice conversation I'm having with myself...

Ok. I have the patch working. The key was that the path shown in
Winzip when I added the files has to match the folder structure
already there, namely "org/eclipse/ui/" for the IWorkbenchPage.class
file and "org/eclipse/ui/internal" for the other classes.

You can trick Winzip into doing this by copying the org folder (and
all subfolders) of the org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.0.1 patch tree to
the root level of your C drive. Then use Winzip to "Freshen" the
workbench.jar and be sure to check "Save full path info".

Hope that helps someone else. The patch seems to work fine with CDT
2.0.2.

Don't think so.

BUT if you are interested, why not post in the bug there? AND add yourself
to the voters?
