JBDS opens selected .java file over current .java file

asookazian Mar 25, 2009 6:45 PM

I use CTRL+SHFT+T to open a java class (foo.java). I edit the file and save. I do CTRL+SHFT+T to open a different java class (bar.java). bar.java is opened in the place of foo.java. Now foo.java is not visible in my perspective.

why does this happen and how to fix? I've seen this happen before and it seems to go away. I'm using Seam perspective with JBDS 2.0.0.CR2. thx.

actually I lied. this only happens when I double click a java src file from the search view and do it again.

CTRL-SHFT-T works fine. how can I fix this, it's kinda annoying?

Uncheck the box for Close editors automatically.

You might also want to try installing Mylyn to manage related files in a task context (eg., to have all the files relevant to a bug or work item grouped such that when you enable/disable the task, files will be automatically reopened/closed. Mylyn also lets you filter your Project or Package Explorer so you only see the files you care about at the moment.

it's already unchecked. so that's not the root cause.

I read about mylyn in java power tools i believe but i haven't had time to install yet. it had IDE/mylyn/SVN integration which was pretty cool IIRC.

Yes, it's got CVS/SVN integration, Bugzilla/JIRA/Trac integration, and JDT/PDE workspace integration. Highly recommended.
