VPE on separate tab w/ lazy initialization
------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-2588
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2588
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Visual Page Editor
         Environment: debian/unstable, linux 32bit, eclipse 3.4
            Reporter: arne anka
            Priority: Optional


the vpe should reside on a separate tab, not together with source, and it should initialize only when openend.
rationale: 
i am no big fan of visual editors but can imagine that there are situations when i might find it useful.
so, when editing pages i do it with the source editor. having the vpe on the same tab it occupies space, even minimized, and is confusing -- a clean separation is desirable (source|visual|preview).
additionally, the visual editor is initialized when the source editor is opened, regardless whether i ever use it. having the visual editor on it's own tab would allow lazy initialization, saving resources.

re the versions: i see "Richfaces VPE Feature 2.0.0.200807200019-nightly", not clear to me which of the numbers in the selects above fits.
