I recently upgraded to Eclipse 3.3 and the latest release of CFEclipse and noticed when I have my editor window maximized you can now access other views via new toolbars which are docked (you can move these around). So if you are coding and need to hit the dictionary - you can click its icon - the dictionary pops up alongside your maximized editor - you do your search - then click the dictionary button again and it goes away. Sweet!

Isn’t that simply the ‘fast view’ functionality ?
Has been around for a while..
It is similar - but I didn’t do anything special in 3.3 to enable it. I went back to my 3.2 install and they did not appear, you have to manually right-click on a view, then select ‘Fast View’. This iconifies the view - removing it from the window.
This is one of my favorite new features (along with drag & drop text) of Eclipse 3.3. The old “Minimize Panel” functionality was lousy. This adds so much real estate since I rarely use the right or bottom panels.
