'Why does Eclipse open my java files as a tab in the package explorer view?
Whenever I want to open a file in the package explorer, it will be opened as a new tab in the same view as the package explorer. Last time I started Eclipse, the were all opened in a seperate editor view.
Solution 1:[1]
open Window -> Perspective -> Reset Perspective It worked fine for me. Then you can just minimize all the other open tabs you don't need like Task List...
Solution 2:[2]
I faced the same issue and had to shift the newly opened tab manually.
Doing Window-> Perspective->Reset perspective brought the views to their default positions.
