Positioning new editors side by side

Question

I'm working on an eclipse rcp application and want to avoid this effect when opening a new editor: http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/stackededitorsfcpt3zoq.png

and want to achieve this effect programmatically: http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/separareeditorsmv58nzua.png

Has anyone an idea how this can be achieved?

Thanks! :-)

Answer 1

As far as I can tell from reading the Eclipse Javadoc, your editors will always open as tabs. It's up to your users to drag and drop one of the editors, so the editors are side by side.

You can submit a request to the Eclipse organization for this feature, if you wish.
