The Future Is Breadcrumbs

Working on my Lab :( , noticed a new option in Eclipse 3.4m6

“Show in Breadcrumb”

Turns out Eclipse has Breadcrumb navigation for Classes

On first blush, you think it’s pretty useless. But it has some merit. Like if you want to maximize your editor workspace, you can now hide the Outline pane, and still have most of the functionality by using breadcrumbs. You can even hide the Navigator pane, since you can browse package structure. But I think that’s taking things a bit too far. One pane at a time.

Thanks Eclipse!
