It sounds like you would find value in using Mylyn to manage task
contexts: http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/
It will filter many of the standard Eclipse views based on what files
you have actually looked at and touched.
Installed by default in 3.4 (and at least some of the 3.3 package
builds, too).

There is a preference to turn that off (so that files will NOT be
removed from the context when the editor is closed): Preferences > Tasks

I don't know why they make that feature on by default ; I find it
annoying, too, and can hardly imagine someone wanting that behavior.
