Is there a way to have MDI in Eclipse?

    I just recently switched IDEs. I went from Visual
Cafe to Eclipse. One of the features I used often in Visual
Cafe was having several java files open at the same time. I
am use to the MDI interface.
    It looks like Eclipse provides similar functionality
via the ability to have tiled windows, but is there a way to
have the Multi Document Interface in Eclipse?

    Also, where is a good place to go for more information
on Eclipse?

    Thanks.

In addition to tiling, you can use the "Window" menu to open a new
window. Select the file you want to view in it, then maximize the file's
editor sub-window.
