Description whaley 2010-06-29 15:32:45 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 6.9 (Build 201006101454)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.6.4 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_20
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 16.3-b01-279


The editor tabs listing all files and drop down list of open files doesn't distinguish between files that have the same file name but a different path.  This is *very* common when working with maven multi-module projects where each module has its own pom.xml file and I (and others) tend to have multiple pom.xml files open at once.  Would it be possible ot have some distinguishing characteristic to these files in the editor tabs or drop down list of files (e.g. a mouse rollover shows a balloon indicating the full path to the file or the project the file is associated with?).
