A few features I’d like to see in the web browser are:

1. Resize window
This could either resize the whole Eclipse application or simply add a spacing around the view in the editor. For instance, if I’m using 1024×768 for my screen, and I want to resize for an 800×600 (since that’s my “standard”), the screen would look something like this…

+--------------+
| (gray space) |
|  +--------+  |
|  |  web   |  |
|  |  page  |  |
|  +--------+  |
|              |
+--------------+

My purpose with this is to test different screen sizes to see how my app looks. Obvious defaults should include: 640, 800, 1024, and 1280 (I doubt anyone’s going to want to view 1600+). Then, there’s always the option to specify a custom size and keep a history of custom sizes.

2. Export image
This is your typical screenshot plug-in. MyEclipse has this capability in numerous other places, but I’d like to see one built into the internal browser just to make things easier. There is a plug-in I saw online, but it is only free for personal use and I can’t do my updates using Eclipse because of my network setup (http://www.bdaum.de/eclipse/eDump). This tool grabs screenshots from any view of Eclipse. I’m simply looking for a context menu option to export an image of the browser (in whatever size it may be – see feature request above – 800×600 for instance).

Both good suggestions, I will file them.
