Bug 30621

One thing I really liked about NetBeans was the ability to create groups of
files so that when I come back to working on a particular project, I could open
the group of files I was working on.  Mozilla also has implemented a similar
concept by allowing a person to book mark a group of tabs.  

It would be great if within eclipse I could bookmark a group of editors so that
I could come back to them at a later time.  This would make it easier to switch
between tasks such as defect management for an older project and development for
a newer project.  If the user is in the middle of working on the new project and
gets a defect for the old project that has to be addressed immediately, they
could bookmark their current set of open editors, close everything, work on the
defect which would cause them to open several other editors, finish the defect,
close all editors, and then they could reopen all the editors they were working
with on the new project when they were sidetracked.

The netbeans implementation was handy, but a little more intrusive I think.  You
had to manually make your own groups, instead of building them out of files you
already had open.  I think the mozilla-style approach would be the best.
