java - eclipse: how to get the "link with editor" to work between windows? -

i utilize multiple monitors. have 2 eclipse windows, 1 on each of primary monitors, total screen: right monitor views: code editors, outline, bundle explorer, task list left monitor views: console, declaration, javadoc, etc sec window created eclipse menu window >> new window.

the "link editor" feature works on views within same window, i've found no way create them work across windows. works means when clicking or resting editor caret on fellow member function in code javadoc , declaration code pops in respective views. not when editor , info views in different windows.

the mylyn tasks focus works great across both windows, , very nice if can "link editor" work well.

the 2 windows separate each other , there little linking between them; design, how new window feature intended work (see this answer similar question). 2 workbench windows no share state each other (although you've noted, mylyn context cross over; that's because mylyn driving ui across entire workspace, it's not specific particular workbench).

what can instead utilize single workbench window (don't utilize new window) detach views want on sec monitor. should serve needs long don't want have editor area on both monitors - there single editor area workbench window, having 2 editor areas means having 2 workbenches.
