Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2001-10-10 22:25:49 EDT 
Users often end up with many editors open.  Many users polled always disable the 
"link editor to navigator" option as it results in an unusable navigator.  Unfortunately, 
with this option disabled, there is no easy way to get from a given file in an editor 
to the file in the navigator to, say, release it.  At best the outliner, in the case of Java
files, offers "Show in package view".  From there you can "show in navigator".  At worst
the user has to manually hunt for the file in navigator.

Suggest adding a context menu to the editor tab.  This would have "show in navigator"
and may offer Java tooling the abilty to include "show in package view".
