Sorry, I assumed it was fairly obvious that I am saying that Eclipse does 
not currently provide a mechanism for doing this.  Not that some 
programmer could not add such a feature to Eclipse.

Again, I am talking about Eclipse programmers.  I want the feature, and if 
I could do it manually, I would do it just like you would.  I am saying 
that making it a feature that people could use is just enough work that 
the programmers that are working on Eclipse probably do not see it as 
worth the effort.  There are certainly plenty of features I would like to 
see implemented before this was worked on.  If you want the feature post 
it to the eclipse.platform newsgroup.  That is the best way to get the 
attention that someone that has the time and is looking for something to 
do.  I am sure there are a lot of Eclipse users that would like this as 
well.
