How to disable breadcrumbs in Eclipse

Question

How can I disable the Java editor breadcrumb in Eclipse?

Answer 1

When you see the BreadCrumb toolbar, right-click on the green class icon and then from the menu options click on Hide Breadcrumb.

Answer 2

Change property breadcrumb.org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective from true to false in your org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file.

Answer 3

Here it is :

In the toolbar, toggle bread crumb option.

Answer 4

Something like http://loadcontext.blogspot.com/2008/08/eclipse-34-breadcrumbs-hide-and-show.html?

Customize Perspective, choose the Commands tab. In the Available command group, choose Java Editor Presentation. The Toolbar details shows the button for Toggle Breadcrumbs, which looks like a folder with a C in a circle with a black triangle on top of it.

Despite my absolute lack of experience with Eclipse, I suppose this setting must appear in other Presentation items too. After the button's enabled, all you have to do is click it. Or not?

Answer 5

If you are referring to the breadcrumbs in the help file of a RCP application, there is only a manual way to do it.

Since Ganymede 3.4M5:

• Michael Borgwardt mentions the toolbar icon
• Slava Semushin provides a native shortcut based on Ctrl+3+bread, which points directly to the Toggle Java Editor Breadcrumb option.
• Shachi reminds us below that you can right-click on any icon on the breadcrumb, and select the entry named "Hide Breadcrumb".

Original answer (manual way, through key mapping)

Find the file org.eclipse.help.webapp\advanced\breadcrumbs.css and replace its contents with.

.help_breadcrumbs {
   display: none;
}

For the Java Editor breadcrumb, you need to assign a shortcut to the "Toggle Java Editor Breadcrumb" command (I have tested Alt+B, for instance)

That shortcut will make the breadcrumb bar appear/disappear at will.

In Juno: type 'Bread' and select 'Toggle Java Editor Breadcrumb'
