I have used Vim for sometime now and I love the split window feature where you can see all pertinent code all at the same time. I am using eclipse because it is making my life even easier. I just found out that you can split windows in eclipse too. All you have to do is open the files. Eclipse will open them in tabs as usual. Then drag one of the tabs to the side you want until you see an arrow, then let go and viola. I am using Eclipse 3.4. I don’t know if this works in all eclipse versions.
Edit: Here is a video to demonstrate:
Split window/view in Eclipse IDE from Addisu Taddese on Vimeo.
An easier method is to be on the tab of the window you wish to split and then choose Window->New Editor
This will create a new tab with the same file. If you wish to be able to see both copies at the same time then drag one of the splits to another section of the window, either in an exiting window or wait until the gui shows a gray outline to create a new window.
thanks for the tip man, the video was helpful. just what I was looking for.
Beautiful!! Thanks alot.
