make multiple editor open for the same file possible [message #38072]

Hi:

currently, Eclipse only allow one editor open for the same file.

in practice, i found sometimes it is neccessary to open multiple editor
for the same file. eg. inside one class, there is methodA(), which call
methodB() and methodC(). and inside methodB(), it calls methodX(),
methodY(). etc. when i do the edit, it is more convienent to have one
editor open showing methodA(), which has the control structure of logic
flow of calling other methods. then some other editors open showing other
methods.

thanks for your attention.

kevin.

This can only be done by opening a new eclipse window (i.e. Window->New
Window). From there you can open up another editor on the same class.
