Open File From Package Explorer [message #212486]

Hello, I work from Eclipse java source editor with Edit windows maximized.
However, when I want to open a new file I have to restore and go back to
package explorer and open it up from there. Is there a way to open a file up
when edit window is maximized without have to go back to package explorer?

Thanks!

Hi Erica. How are you maximizing the java source editor? You can just
double-click on the tab at the top of the screen to toggle between normal
and maximized mode, so you can keep the package explorer open all of the
time. HTH. Mark Dexter

Use Open Type... (Ctrl+Shift+T) or Open Resource.. (Ctrl+Shift+R).

And for the times when you want to browse in Package Explorer or
Reesource Navigator or any other view, you can make the view a Fast View
where it is easily accessible to expand and collapse.

Hope this helps,
Eric
