Eclipse IDE multiple java tabs/files opened
Hello, I have searched the ide's window preference - Editors preference page, the online help, and searched the internet. I am sure the answer is there, but I am running out of time.
What I need to know is the Eclipse IDE preference setting for having multiple java files opened.
I had it funtioning properly, then it changed without me changing any of the settings. As it is now, I can only have one java file/code open at a time.
thanks for your response.

Yes, that is what I had done prior to submitting my question. Guess what the solution is/was. You are on the right path. Being that you were quick at answering the question, which I appreciate.
I had to do one other step, might you know what that is? You got the points, but I'll give you some time to respond.

Don't select the + (plus sign) before the Editors.
Click on the 'Editors 'and in the right pane check that box.
After that click apply and then ok.

Restart the eclipse if you face some problems.

basav com, you got it, I had to restart the IDE. I thought that cured the problem, but now I can only have 3 files opened. My Editor settings are set to 10 files.
Any other suggestion?

Open some more files.. :)

This might be the problem, but I used to be able to open as many files as I wanted before. The files I am trying to keep open are coming from a "file search"?
Any thoughts on this?

basav, screen shot? How can I attach my screen shot the way you did?
Please see attached file. This is definitely the solution. I had to select the "Close Editors automatically."

basav, screen shot? How can I attach my screen shot the way you did? ---> If it is a image file (.jpg or .jpeg or .bmp etc... ) it will be showed in the way I have posted.
Click 'Restore Defaults' if you want to go back to original settings.

basav, this is off the initial question, yet while we are at this juncture, please allow me to ask.
I am told that I need the "software" to be able to save the screen shot as an .jpg extencion. Is this correct?

Yes .. use any image editor software.
The way you copy pasted to microsoft word software... copy paste that into the 'paint brush' (image editor software) and then save it.

basav, at this moment I am downloading a MS image software. I am hesitent to download from just any site. The fear of having my work PC crashing at work is great. Thanks for the help.
paint brush comes with the Microsoft XP installation. No need to download, you can open like this:
Windows + R key
type pbrush
Windows + R key
type pbrush
Check that 'Show multiple Editor tabs'
