Hi!

The double mouse click (right to editor tabs at the empty space) is a typical ui gesture in tabbed applications to open
a new empty tab (like internet browsers, e.g. Firefox).

To provide this gesture in the NetBeans IDE/platform for the New File Wizard is a little step to complete typical mouse
gestures in RCPs.

UI Sample:

|=================|-|----------------|---------------------------------------
|Some javafile [x]| |[Other file] [x]| *       *    *       *  [<][>][v][-] |
|                 |----------------------------------------------------------

* = double click area (not used empty space) for the "New File Wizard".

br,
  josh.
