Is there a way to detach an editor from the main eclipse window? I know this is possible with netbeans but so far I haven\'t been able to figure out how to do it (if possible)
With Eclipse Juno you can drag an editor out of the main window to detach it.
Selecting: Window | New Window
Seems to be a close stand in for detaching the editor. This command create a new "main eclipse window" so files can be opened and what not.
