Eclipse Grumbles

Eclipse is a great IDE, but there are a few things that just need to be put out there. Maybe someone will find this and do something about it. Heck, if there's an Eclipse community feedback forum somewhere, I'd like to know.

Anyway - grumble #1 - why does it tell me the name of the file I'm editing in the caption bar? And if I do alt-tab to quick-switch between apps, it's the file currently under edit that shows there, too. This is too low level. Far, far more useful would be for it to say the Workspace and/or the Project name. Honestly! The only way to even find out what workspace you are in is to go under File;Switch Workspaces. There doesn't even seem to be a preferences dialog to customize this. There should be!
