Hmmm... I'm not sure I get what you're talking about here.
In the Java IDEs I've used, you typically have lots of different windows
open. They're usually docked, admittedly, but they're open and on the screen.
In my Eclipse IDE at the moment, I've got a package/file explorer, an
outline view, a JUnit view, an Ant runner view, and a task view. Most of
these are docked, and have other tabs available in each dock (such as a
type hierarchy, a problems view, a console window, and a CVS
synchronisation view). Oh, and the editor window in the centre.
In IntelliJ and NetBeans, I've used similar views. Most of these can float
if you want, but with a single monitor I tend to like them docked. When
I've got multiple monitors available, detaching some of them (particularly
the more information-oriented ones) over to the other monitors makes a lot
of sense.
Although it's been some years now since I worked in C++, I recall that MS
Visual Studio had _some_ of this at least.
