Retain previous open file tab under visible tabs

Question

Eclipse Juno - In my workspace I have \'Package Explorer\' opened on the left side, on the right side I have 6 visible file tabs and under \'Show List\' I have 17 files.

Answer 1

There's a more straight-forward way to bring back the old tab behavior of the eclipse Juno editor:

• Go to INSTALL/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.2.0.qualifier/css
• Choose the CSS for the theme that you use
• Replace swt-mru-visible: false; with swt-mru-visible: true;
• Restart eclipse (I haven't tested if that's necessary, at all)

If that doesn't work, also look in INSTALL/configuration/org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt.theme/ for CSS files.

If you have a look at the css files of the different themes, you can see why switching the theme solves the problem as well.
