Hey!
Gene try it again. You'll like it much better.
The idea about separate editors for methods in VA is for organizing your
project. For all but the very smallest projects, one continuous .java source
file in one editor window is IMO is unusable. What you are asking for is what
VCafe does and we dropped VCafe for our development after nine months of
struggling. With VA you can divide up the project down to the class level.
