Description Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-01-08 16:40:35 EST 
This is based on build 2001-12-04 using latest Eclipse UI code.

In the File menu, the MRU list of file names uses "..." to shorten long 
entries. Unfortunately, the "..." sometimes cuts off part of the file name. For 
example, my MRU list looks like
  org.eclipse.ui/Eclip...ocumentProvider.java
  org.junit/.classpath

We should look at ways to avoid this. We need to consider the possibility of 
the file name itself being really long (not including the path).
