How to prevent Eclipse from showing the opened file in package explorer

somehow I've ended up in a situation such that when I navigate through source files with Eclipse, the Eclipse always selects (and expands) the opened file with package explorer. With this I end up

With brief googling/exploring on the preferences I couldn't find this one..

Eclipse version is 3.4 if that happens to matter.

Thanks in advance, Touko

Turn off the "Link with Editor" option in the Package Explorer toolbar.

Package Explorer (the left/right arrow icon, turned on here)

Select a source file, right click on it, choose "Open with" and then "Java Editor". The Java Editor should be the default after that for all java files.
