Split windows in Netbeans -
i'm trying split windows can have 2 different classes or whatever on 1 screen split window of same class/file/whatever. i've been using netbeans years , still can't this.
is possible?
this not possible in netbeans. splitting windows possible when windows docked in ide not possible when window in float
you don't mention version of netbeans using. i'm using version 8, , these instructions work version , version 7. believe same version 6.
if want see 2 different source files on screen @ same time (without floating), open both source files. have 2 tabs in editing area of ide. click on tab of 1 of source files without releasing mouse button (and without holding additional keys), , drag toward either right side of editing area, or toward bottom of editing area (depending on whether want them side-by-side or stacked). see orange outline appear once start dragging. if orange box encloses entire editing area, ide thinks want reorder tab. keep dragging toward edge (without going over) , see orange box change fill either right half or lower half (or if drag other way, left half or top half) of editing area. releasing mouse button @ point drop source file in half of editing area, leaving 2 source files side-by-side or stacked.
here's example of looks when stacking 2 source files, before mouse button released:

and here looks after releasing mouse button:

if want have same source file duplicated on screen, open single source file , follow instructions above, hold ctrl key while clicking-and-dragging.
you can repeat procedure many times want (as practical screen size), end source files in several columns, several rows, or combination thereof.
when next open file, opened in tab group of selected source file. if end source file opened in "wrong" tab group, drag want using procedure above (allowing orange box outline whole tab group area if want drop in tab).
additional screen shots reference...
reordering tab within same tab group:

side-by-side instead of stacked (two images):

get crazy want...

create above dragging second file lower half, third file right half of top half, , fourth file right half of lower half.
