    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:

    Initial Breadcrump GUI

    • Michael Borgwardt mentions the toolbar icon dd
    • 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“.

    Hide breadcrumbs

    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)

    alt text

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