Hi,

I think that it is a major issue to know on which file the developer is working
on  while editing.
Currently Eclipse platform shows the file name in the title bar. But it's not
useful if you have more than one file with the same name. So I believe it would
be more meaningful to have the ability to display the full path of the file in
the title bar instead of just the file name. It could be nice to have this
choosable by preferences.
I believe it's a quick thing to implement, but it's an important issue.
Currently I use CTRL+E to see full paths of files I am editing. But it could be
much more confortable to have the full path of the current file in the title
bar, as in IntelliJ, for example (I believe the same is for JBuilder).

Thanks and best regards.
Luigi
