I am currently using Eclipse Helios Service Release 1. I am new to both the IDE and the platform.

My question is, how do I get the same curvy tab on my app that of the IDE?

    According to this thread and this blog post:

    See “eclipse look&feel customization” for more.

    All see this “java-tips“:

    curvy tabs on Eclipse RCP

    To change the shape of the title of a view following line of code can be written in the preWindowOpen() method of the ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor.

    PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.SHOW_TRADITIONAL_STYLE_TABS, false);

    Note that there might be an issue with long titles when there is many tabs:
    See bug 322623:
    “Editor tabs do not show ellipsis for long filenames when using new style tabs.”
