Description Thierry CLA 2002-01-22 09:07:10 EST 
In Visual Age, when you double click on the name of a method, it opens the 
method in a new window. Then you can open as many methods as you need and work 
on them simultanely. It would be very useful to have that functionnality in 
Eclipse. Thanks. Th.

agreed that this is currently not possible and has lower priority to us.
Deferring for  now.
Comment 2 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-04-28 04:51:32 EDT 
There are no plans to address this for 3.0 unless we get external help.
