Description peterkOnsemi 2004-02-25 12:17:52 UTC
Using IDE 3.6 Beta. Missing features which were in 
NetBeans 3.5.1 (distributed with Sun's J2SDK 1.4.
2):

1. Un/dock window, so that I had several Multi-doc 
windows, each possibly showing multiple sources, 
either normally, or "split". No such a feature in 
menu neither by right mouse click.

2. To "move" by drag-and-drop "Filesystems" 
pane/window to the right of NetBeans main window.

Cheers,

Peter Kehl

Hi, Jan

I beleive that missing undock functionality, e.g. allowing for having
a separate source editor on a second screen in dual-screen systems, is
a regression.

Of course one may argue that it's because of a new window system, but
still this great new winsys should have supported this. At least I've
got this requeest in a fido7.ru.java newsgroup recently.

What do you think, and when should we see such a functionality?

(I also changed the Target Milestone to TBD, because it was 3.3)

Any chances to have dual-screen megarulezz ;-) ?

AFAIK, windowing system improvements are planned for the release after 4.0. But I am not 
exactly sure what features it would cover (multi-monitor support, maybe multi-row tabs, 
etc. - I am really not sure).

Trung should know more.

Changing to enhancement. This functionality was dropped from the Compact Windows 
Mode intentionally.
Comment 5 David Simonek 2006-08-03 17:27:06 UTC
Implemented in main trunk, views and editors now can be dragged and dropped
outside of main window on second monitor.
