How do I programmatically re-arrange the editors inside the editors view
(i.e. after two editors are open - place one editor to the left and the
other to the right). This can be done inside the actual IDE.

Thanks.

You mean re-arrange their tabs? You can't do that programmatically (in
my workspace, it doesn't make sense since I only have one tab).

You can make an editor active (tab highlighted, contents visible) by
using the IWorkbenchPage#activate(...) method.

can also place two editors top and bottom or four editors one in each corner

Ah, move open editors to new editor stacks ...

I've seen examples of programmitically doing this in some tests, but
IIRC it was accomplished using internal APIs and faking a drag and drop.

The tests are in the org.eclipse.ui.tests plugin, available from CVS.
