Ive been thinking about some of the features that Eclipse has of late and it strikes me that one of its strengths is the way it manages multiple panes within a single window, so I was wondering whether it would be possible to add a new type of window for commands to output into, this is the idea: instead of opening a new window, open the window embedded within the current editing window, sort of like Omniweb does with its site preferences, the window splits horizontally with the site above and the prefs below. This would be great for commands that check syntax as it would avoid obscuring the editing window whilst sill allowing access to the output so that it could be clicked on etc.
What does everyone else think? Allan, do you think this would be a good idea?
