Doesn't have to be - that's mostly a compiler-driven limitation. Years ago there was experimentation with Rational Rose and Unysis Universal Repository to create file-less versioned code repositories, where classes and methods and <file groupings> and packages were all essentially namespaces with enforced boundaries to simulate the same semantics. Could totally be done all smalltalk/self like.

You know how much Dick loves IDEs, he'll be all pretty jazzed about
this one. I agree, looks great for code exploration, but for straight
development I'm not sure, hard to beat the simplicity of switching
between tabs.

Reminds me the Smalltalk explorer but Java is too much file-centered
for this kind of view.
