In Eclipse, can I view the files I currently have open in a vertical stack instead of a horizontal one?

I would find it much easier if the tabs show which files are in the Editor were stacked vertically rather than horizontally. Stacked horizontally means that you run out of room to display file names very fast and makes switching between files time consuming.

Is there an option or a plugin to display the files vertically? (Similar to navigator, but for open files instead of project files) I can't seem to find one.

How do I open a side file in eclipse?

Click on the tab of one of the files you want to edit and drag the tab to the edge of the editor frame until you see a vertical line appear in the middle of the editor frame. Then drop the tab there and you have two files to view side-by-side.

tabs can not be stacked vertically. However, CTRL+E (+E on mac) might give you some relief.
