Eclipse 3.8 - Prevent file name deletion in editor tabs

Question

I want, it seems, it should be a simple question, but I keep hitting ...

In Eclipse 3.8 / STS 3.1, how to stop Eclipse from trimming file names in editor tabs. I can’t say which tab is. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In the Window → Preferences section, go to General → Editors .
The last item should be "Close editors automatically," and you can specify a number.

If you check this, the last editor will be closed when the specified number of open editors is reached. Thus, open editors do not take up so much space, and the possibility of truncated names is reduced.
You can always quickly search and open resources using Ctrl + Shift + R , so there is no need to constantly open them.

Of course, it cannot be guaranteed to always show the full name. If there is not enough space, what do you expect from Eclipse?
