We have a requirement for our next release to embed the source editor as a tab in J2EE component editor. It mostly works now but there are issues with the toolbar disappearing and not getting a prompt on closing the editor when there are changes pending.
Resolved by multiview in NB4.0 - see Form/Editor as an exapmle.
