Build ID: 3.4 M6 Enhancement request: I find that creating a Scrapbook page takes me out of my context and forces me to do a lot of extra setup. This decreases the Scrapbook's effectiveness as quick test code. It would be excellent if the Java editor could support taking a text selection and turning it into a scrapbook on the fly. This means I could write my quick test right where I'm going to use it, highlight it, and run it -- all without leaving the editor. As a bonus, this feature provides a way to highlight the scrapbook support (save selection as Java Scrapbook seems like the next obvious feature). I often find that other Eclipse users don't know this very useful support exists. Finally, if done correctly, it would alleviate a lot of the rigmarole of setting up the imports that you need for your Scrapbook. Specifically, I'm thinking that the Scrapbook could be compiled with the settings of the current project, with the imports of the current compilation unit, and in the same package as the current cu.
All good points. No resources are currently allocated to the scrapbook. Marking as assigned for future generations to consider.
