Hi,
I am a newbie who has currently started working on eclipse IDE,  I was earlier 
working in VS.NET Studio.

One differance in these 2 tools is that VS has an auto-hide (pin) button for 
its various perspective windows which gets activated when mouse is over it and 
hides or docks when the mouse has exited. I have not found it in eclipse IDE, 
This is a very imp. functionality as far as programmers are concerned coz no 
one likes cluttered workspace where the we have to scroll ..scroll.. and scroll 
to see the code written or close the windows and restart them.

I would be happy (i know thats one of your goals:) to make the java programmer 
happy) if i can get the same functionality here in Eclipse IDE where in the 
perspective windows get maximized when a pointer is over them and minimized 
when i dont need them.. that would be just great!

if you alreary have it, plz let me know...

Waiting or your reply.. :)

Cheers and regards,
Amey Joshi.

Moving to Platform/UI for consideration...

Not exactly.  The closest we have is fast views (right click on view tab and
choose Fast View), but this requires a click on the view icon, not just hovering.

You can also collapse a view in 3.0 >= M8 by clicking on the _ icon.

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.
