1. How is the breadcrumb displayed for a java file? It is a composite that has images and text dynamically updated depending on the position in the java file? Or it is displayed in another way: e.g. a toolbar?

2. How can I create my own custom breadcrumb? Can I create one for a tree (e.g. add a breadcrumb to the package explorer)?

Thanks for any info regarding the breadcrumb.

Time is what you make of it.

Catalin,

Maybe you can use PDE Spy to answer this yourself:

Start by looking at the classes in
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.breadcrumb.

You you cannot add this to other views. Only if you implement the view
or editor yourself. There's also no API to (re-) use the existing
breadcrumb code.
