Makes possible to close tabs with a middle mouse button click. This is much faster than using the tab close button, because of the much bigger target area. Especially this trick helps when closing multiple tabs. During such operation the remaining tabs get resized, and, as result, those little close buttons move around a lot. Getting accustomed to closing tabs with middle click in Firefox, it is frustrating to find myself clicking on Eclipse editors tab trying to close them. "Middle Click Closes Tab" plugin brings this feature to Eclipse. See http://www.hlsoft.com/clickclosestab_eclipse

Great plugin that delivers a functionality that should be in Eclipse in the first place.

pretty nice - IMHO there should be a lot more shortcuts like in firefox - also things like scroll over tabs for faster switching between files

A very simple piece of functionality, yet it makes life so much easier.

Brings simple functionality that should come 'baked in' to all applications.
