Docking and Undocking Views
A view is a container that is docked within a window. Examples of views are the Filesystems, Runtime, Project Default,
and Javadoc tabbed panes, which are docked in the Explorer window. You can
remove a view from its present window and place it in another window.
To dock a view into another location:
- Activate the view.
- From the main window, choose Window
Dock View Into
and one of the following items.
- A window name.
- A window name and location (center, right, left, top, or bottom). The location is available for split frames only.
- New Single Frame. This menu item
removes the view from the frame that it is currently in and
inserts it into a new single frame.
- New Multi-tab Frame. This menu item
removes the view from the frame that it is currently in and
inserts it into a new multi tab frame. In this frame, you can switch between several
content panes that appear to share the same space on the screen.
- New Split Frame. This menu item removes the view from the frame that it is currently in
and inserts it into a new frame that can be divided into two
or more resizable panes.
To undock a view:
- Activate the view.
- From the main window, choose Window
