Can you save groups of tabs in Eclipse so you can open them later?

Question

I have several different processes within a single project that I work on. I am constantly opening and closing tabs(java files) in the code editor for that particular process.

Answer 1

Eclipse provides multiple ways of structuring the IDE desktop:

• Perspectives: Customization of the positions of open and closed views and editors. You can copy and rename existing perspectives like the Java perspective and suit them to your needs by customizing them. See the Window menu or right-click on the perspective icon in the upper right corner
• Task Management Tools like Mylyn: see answer by VonC
• Multiple Windows: You can open new windows and move them to your second monitor. Select Window > New Window to open a new window. Each window keeps track of its own open editors.
• Multiple Instances of Eclipse: You can always use multiple workspaces and multiple instances of Eclipse. However, this is only recommended when working on different projects, as both instances would overwrite each others files when rebuilding.
• Hotkeys: By using shortcuts like Ctrl-T and Alt-Left/Alt-Right and Ctrl-Q you can quickly jump to previous locations where you have edited source files. This is a great help in navigating the open workspace.
