Hi all,

Does anyone know whether or not it's possible to display the local
file system path for the current editor's file within the
application title bar (I'm running Eclipse on Win XP)?

I know you can synchronize the editors with the navigation view, but
when I have the editors maximized, it would be nice to have the path
displayed.

TIA!

You would have to write a (simple) plugin for this.

Register a part listener:

When selection changes, update the shell's title:

IWorkbench wb = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IWorkbenchWindow win = wb.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
Shell shell = win.getShell();
shell.setText(...);
