Build Identifier: M20090917-0800

Please release this UI example as an Eclipse feature for users to enable:
org.eclipse.ui.examples.presentation.wrappedtabs

You can see the changes detailed in the PDT at: 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.ui.examples.presentation/eclipsecon2005-presentationsAPI.ppt?revision=1.1

the project itself is: 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.ui.examples.presentation/?pathrev=

Quite frankly, this is one of the most horrible features of the UI.  I never have only 4 or 5 tabs open at once.  All my projects are huge and I typically have 10+ files open at any given time.  The ability to have multiple rows of tabs is critical to creating a user friendly programming environment.

If the code for this functionality is available in the "UI Examples" package, then in my opinion, it should be available as an option in the preferences for the user to select this presentation method under Preferences->General->Appearance.

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Eclipse
2. Open 10 files
3. look at the ugly single row of file tabs in the editor
4. Please fix it.
