Re: [eclipse-dev] synchronize navigator with edit

Frank,

You are correct.  In 2.0, the Navigator had a preference for back-linking.
For 2.1 M4, we changed this to a one-off Sync action in the toolbar of the 
Navigator (the Package Explorer never adopted this).
For 2.1 M5, we tried replacing back-linking with a more general Show In... 
feature in the Navigate menu, and removed the Sync action from the 
Navigator.
However, we were over-ambitious in this attempt, and got feedback from 
many people that back-linking is a useful option.

Based on this feedback, we are adding back-linking back, but not as a 
global preference.  It will now be a per-view setting in the toolbar of 
the Navigator and Package Explorer.

The related Help topics are out of date, but will be revised for 2.1.

For all the details, see:
http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=30002.

If you have any comments on this topic, please add them to this bug 
report.

Nick

        Subject:        [eclipse-dev] synchronize navigator with edit




Dear all, 
In a previous previous stable build of Eclipse, the navigator synchronize 
itself to the opened file in the editor, by setting an option in the 
preferences.
In a previous stable build, the option was not availavle anymore but you 
could synchronize the navigator by a button or menutopic.
In the latest version (M5) neiter the options is available and neither the 
menutopic. 
The helpfiles seems to keep refering to the option in the preferences. 
Can any one tell me if the synchronization is still available ? 
Best Regards, 
Frank
