The number of views and editors within a page is restricted to simplify part management for the user. In particular:

* Unless a view explicitly allows for multiple instances in its plug-in declaration there will be only one instance in a given workbench page.
* Only one editor can exist for each editor input within a page.

-----------

Of course, the claim in the second bullet is incorrect. You can have multiple editors with the same input, it is as easy as going 'Window > New Editor'.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
