Is it possible to use Eclipse IDE just as a text editor (with features like sytax highlighting, etc., possibly with extra features) , by dragging files into it or using a ‘File>Open’ kind of thing, without creating any “Projects” and the like, editing the files and saving them to their original location? Is this a feature built into Eclipse, or would a plugin be necessary?

(In case the language makes a difference, this is for Python, although information for other languages would also be useful.)

    I’m using Eclipse SDK

    Version: 3.5.0
    Build id: I20090611-1540

    And yes, you can open a .txt file, make changes, then save and it will save the file to the original open location.

    Just did it.
