Is it possible to colour code the editor tabs in eclipse by project?

Question

Hi,

Background:

I'm working on multiple versions of a given project in eclipse. I want to be able to switch between different versions quickly as I fix bugs and prop-back changes to previous releases, so I have the different versions of the code open as different projects (e.g 4.5_Proj, 5.0_Proj). The problem is that when you have the same file open twice it's very easy to loose track of which one you are currently looking at.

Question:

Is it possible to colour code the editor tabs based on which project the file is from?

Alternatively are there any suggestions for other strategies to manage the above problem of needing to edit and test multiple versions of a codebase in eclipse?

Thanks,

Rob

I believe Mylyn would be a much more effective solution, as it would switch between tasks, to display the current task for the current project.
Then the tabs would reference the correct files from the given project.
