A convenient Eclipse plugin called Middle Click Closes Tab allows users to close tabs using the middle mouse button, simplifying their workflow.
Closing multiple tabs can be a challenge as the remaining tabs get resized and the small close buttons move around. However, with this plugin, one can easily close multiple tabs without any inconvenience. It helps users who are accustomed to using the middle click to close tabs in Firefox from closing Eclipse Editor tabs by mistake.
Installation of the plugin is straightforward as users only need to drop the plugin into their Eclipse "plugins" folder and then restart Eclipse with the "-clean" option. Once installed, closing tabs is as easy as moving the mouse cursor over the tab and clicking the middle mouse button.
To disable the functionality, users can either remove the plugin file from the Eclipse plugins directory or disable it using the Eclipse plugin management tool. The plugin was tested with Eclipse versions 3.1 - 3.3, ensuring its compatibility with most recent versions of Eclipse.
