There are quite a few out there. I've used Quantum and JFaceDBC. Both 
did all I needed, but I found setting up drivers a bit of a pain, so I'm 
always looking for better alternatives to point people to. I currently 
use Quantum.

We have talked about this and we're still looking for use cases to see 
exactly how people currently use it. It could very well be that we can 
do something better by adding features to a single view. The most common 
use case is people wanting to keep track of where they are in the file 
system when working with multiple files. We already have a right-click 
menu option that allows you to find the current file in either the 
navigator view or the file explorer view.

What do you use the multiple views for?

We already have split file/folder in the file explorer view and we plan 
to create a new project navigator view that can work this way as well as 
having ftp support in the context menu.

There is a VSS plugin available here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/vssplugin/

I don't use VSS, so I can't comment on whether it's any good or not.

Have you tried it?

We have an Outline view that does something similar to the Tag 
Inspector. We could certainly expand it to cover some more of the 
feature set of the Tag Inspector if enough people want it.

ok.

That's a pretty reasonable request and we've been chatting about 
providing a packaged solution.

I presume by now you've seen Rob's blog:

We're also working on the documentation and troubleshooting side of things.
