How to prevent Eclipse from showing the opened file in package explorer


somehow I've ended up in a situation such that when I navigate through source files with Eclipse, the Eclipse always selects (and expands) the opened file with package explorer. With this I end up

With brief googling/exploring on the preferences I couldn't find this one..

Eclipse version is 3.4 if that happens to matter.

Thanks in advance, Touko


Solution

  • Turn off the "Link with Editor" option in the Package Explorer toolbar.

    Package Explorer (the left/right arrow icon, turned on here)
