Yeah, that was soooo cool. I also liked the code bubbles. Instead of
having a file as the minimum abstraction unit in the IDE/editor it was
a function/class/method.

Which can be done in Eclipse by just selecting e.g. a method or class in
the outline - iirc it'll just show the definition of the selected node
then, nothing else.

By default, yes, but you can do what Jacob wanted with the "Show Source of Selected Element Only" functionality:
http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/reference/views/ref-java-editor.htm

I personally don't like that feature that much, at least the way it's implemented, because that toggle is global, it will affect all Java editors. Plus it requires the use of the outline view (which I dont typically use), or the package explorer to select the element. I would much rather have the underlying elemented defined *per editor*, (and thus independent of selection).
