    I'm want to experiment with Java and I'd like to find an IDE that
    I'm comfortable with. I run Windows 2000.

    All the Java IDE's that I've looked at so far run in a single "master"
    window and personally I just hate this because everything gets so
    cluttered. What I'm really looking for is an environment where the
    individual components of the IDE (editor, debugger, class browser,
    compiler errors, etc) run as totally seperate windows within the
    Microsoft Windows environment, i.e. each component has its own
    entry on the Win2k taskbar. (For anyone who this might make
    sense to, in Lisp terms I am looking for something that behaves
    like the Xanalys Lispworks IDE as opposed to the Franz Inc
    Allegro IDE).

    Is it just me that hates the <everything in one frame> style of IDE?
    To me it is far easier to display more info with multiple overlapping
    windows because each one can be sized to be big enough to
    display its contents without needing both vertical and horizontal
    scrolling, and bringing the window you want to the front is only a
    single mouseclick.

    Any pointers to an IDE that meets my requirement would save me
    a lot of frustration.
