I know in 3.1 there's a preference in General > Editors called "Show 
multiple editor tabs".  Uncheck that and the tabs disappear, and the only 
way to get at your other editors is through the show-list.

Is this what you are asking?

I found code that controls single or multiple tabs in 
org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.defaultpresentation.DefaultTabFolder.

This could probably be triggered by setting 
IPreferenceConstants.SHOW_MULTIPLE_EDITOR_TABS to false in the Workbench 
Preferences.  Check out 
org.eclipse.ui.presentations.WorkbenchPresentationFactory, there must be a 
publicly available way to do this.
