Split View in Eclipse

Saliya Ekanayake 6:06 PM , 5 comments
I really wanted the split view feature to be in Eclipse as with most of the other IDEs. In fact, Eclipse has this feature, but doesn't give a visible menu/tool option to do it. The simplest way is to drag the tab containing the source until you can see an arrow mark. Then it will split the view as soon as you let go of the mouse. Here's a nice video I found on how to do this.

Here's a screenshot of how it looks.

    Yep, or just :vsplit to split the same file vertically.

    Not far ago such functionality has been added to JBoss Tools. Now you don't need DnD feature, just key combination CTL+8 split editor.
