Description Ian Leslie CLA 2014-07-10 10:07:38 EDT 
Back in the Eclipse 3.0 days there was a plug-in customization feature you could use to control the truncation of files names done in the editor tabs: org.eclipse.ui/EDITOR_MINIMUM_CHARACTERS=80

This no longer works in eclipse 4. I have been reading about the CSS customization that is allowed now but I cannot find any mention of controlling the tab name truncation of open Java files.

My goal is to be able to read the full class name in the editor tabs for classes like this:

| SystemBuilderFileFinder.java | SystemBuilderPrimativeTypesPackage.java | SystemModelImpl.java

Instead of the default that looks like this:
| SystemBuilde... | SystemBuilde... | SystemModel...

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. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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.
