Does anyone know of a decent set of freely available classes for
managing dockable windows via Swing?  Googling found a few mediocre
commercial offerings.  What does Eclipse use?

FlexDock is a free and open windowing and docking solution. Netbeans provides a free and open docking too, but it's harder to find and to extract it from the many sources. Two other commercial offerings are JDock and VLDocking.

FlexDock - https://flexdock.dev.java.net/
JDock - http://www.swingall.com/
VLDocking - http://www.vlsolutions.com/en/index.php

Here's a nice introduction to FlexDock:
