I have a view that extends ViewPart and is implemented as a Form. I
need to restructure it to add more information, and the best way to
organize it visually will be to use tabs. I've investigated using
TabFolder/CTabFolder, but the TabItem can only accept a Control. At
this point the only solution I can see is to provide a very crude
simulation: use buttons as proxies for tabs, and clear / rebuild the
entire form each time a button is clicked -- this is very expensive and
error prone, so I'm looking for any a better approach.
Any sane recommendations for simulating a tabbed pane (like JTabbedPane,
but compatible with Forms) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion. I studied MultiPageEditorPart, and, after a
little trial and error, got it working.
