    We have a tabbed editor here, but I am unsure what state it is in.

    I am not trying to start a flame war, but somehow I always had the
    feeling that Mac OS doesn't handle those folders-as-files
    (bundle-wrapper is the official name?) really well, either (rename one
    of them -- does Finder rename the parts inside?). You need to be able to
    look inside to make them work (e.g. with CVS and .eomodel~ folders), but
    it's really quite hard to do that on Mac OS X.

    Besides, there are some folders that are quite special to Eclipse, I am
    - of course - talking about Java packages and CVS Folders. I think it
    should be possible to make Eclipse recognize bundle wrappers as such
    (although I'd rather like if I could look inside without having to
    Alt-doubleclick things).
