Description Martin Aeschlimann

RC1

1. Open a Java compilation unit in the editor
2. While the file still open, open the file again with 'Open With - Text editor'
3. The editor gets the focus, but it is still opened with the Java editor
The 3rd step is irritating and it took me some seconds to understand that the
file is still open in the Java editor.

Why not inform that the file is already open or, better, ask to close the Java
editor and open with the text editor.

Duplicate of bug 2345, isn't?
