How do you join back the split editor panes in eclipse

On Eclipse, with Window -> New Editor or by drag/drop method* I could have one more editor panes in my eclipse work area. Now how do I remove that extra pane when I do not need it anymore. All it allows me now is to minimize/maximize that editor extra pane. It just sticks around. Shouldn't there be a collapse or close extra editor panes (that is without me requiring to do Window->Reset Perspective!)

How do I open split screen in Eclipse?

How do I open multiple tabs in Eclipse?

To accomplish this, simply drag a tab up to your title bar and release. It will create another row of tabs. I generally like to keep my 'main' files on one tab and my reference files on another. Of course to switch from one tab row to another and see the code, requires you to drag the separator up and down.

Right-click on a tab in the window you want to close and select "close all". This will close the split window (and close any tabs in that window that have not been dragged to another window).
