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.

Yes, you can save off groups of tabs in Eclipse by installing this Session Manager plug-in.

I've wanted this functionality in Eclipse as well. I recently wrote a feature and have been successfully using it for a few months now. It is a new OSGi type extension and works with Eclipse Neon and above.

Here's how to install it.

• In Eclipse, go to Help → Install New Software
• Click “Add”, enter a name like “Editor Sessions” and the following URL. http://spillikinaerospace.com/eclipseInstall/
• Unckeck “Group items by category” to see the feature.
• Check the box that says “Editor Sessions Manager” and click Next.
• Read and agree to the short license agreement.
• Click the remaining install buttons.
• Allow Eclipse to restart.

Please give it a try and send comments. I've found it a very useful tool as I work with several Eclipse projects at once and need to recall file groups.

Hope you enjoy it;
