[eclipse-dev] New feature for editor/view navigation: Navigate / Show In

[Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxxxxx]

In the current integration build (I20030205), there is a new feature for navigating between editors and views.
Choosing Navigate / Show In... prompts you for the view in which to show the current context (the editor's file and/or selection).
This can also be used to navigate between views in some cases.
 
However, due to a limitation in how perspectives are persisted, this menu item will initially be disabled for any existing perspectives.
You will need to reset the perspective using Window / Reset Perspective.
If you have saved changes to your perspective using Window / Save Perspective..., then you will need to reset the perspective to factory settings first, using the Perspectives preference page, then choose Window / Reset Perspective.
We are working on this problem.
 
Also note that this feature replaces the Sync With Editor action (was in the Navigate menu and the Navigator view's toolbar) and the automatic back-linking behaviour in the Package Explorer (and in the Navigator view in 2.0).
 
If you have any comments about this feature, please add them to the bug report for this feature:
