I'm looking for a Java framework which provides tabbed windows, as in Firefox, i.e. tabs can be dragged out to create a new window and dragged back in.
Do you know anything which can do that?
Thanks in advance
The NetBeans platform can do that.

I have a Swing Application that currently has the feature setAlwaysOnTop(true); and is docked to the top of the screen.
Now i can't find a way for other windows (Browser, IDE) to maximize in respect of my application.
To make myself clearer here is a picture:
As you see, currently the maximized window is behind my Application.
I don't want other applications to expand behind my application; just like maximizing a browser won't expand it past the Windows taskbar.
How can i realize the desired behaviour with JAVA?
If not possible directly with/in Java, are there other ways to achieve this?
N.B.: The App only has to work on Windows 7.
I guess the reason for my lack of search results was my inability to describe this behaviour. Any hints would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
It is called an Application Desktop Toolbar
The system prevents other applications from using the desktop area used by an appbar
Which is very Windows-specific, making it difficult in pure Java.
Perhaps jdeskbar could be an option if you really have to do this in Java and not a more "Windowsy" language
EDIT: According to the jDeskBar project wiki, the current release is broken. Maybe it can be picked apart?
I have Swing Application which runs absolutely perfect on Windows XP but fails to give desired Look And Feel on Windows 8(Dimension of Frame and Dialog Changes).I googled a lot but no solution. Will I have to make some changes to my app before deploying on Win 8?
use layouts for your Jframe.
If you use IDE for design means the look and feel will change in another system.
so use layout for your design.

You can use this layout in Windows XP then try it Windows8.
This looks Will not change.
Multi-window applications often have a main-window, and all other windows are kind of 'parented' to it. Minimizing such a sub-window will hide its content and show the title-bar at the bottom-left of the screen. Also, these windows do not have their own Icon in the Task-bar, only the main-window does.
How can I make a window being attached this way to another window?
If that is possible, is it also possible without a referenfe to the actual main window?
#2: I'm embedding Java into such an application and I would like to be able to use awt or swing additionally to the native dialogs, which have this behavior by default.
See How to Use Internal Frames.
have look at JInternalFrames for MDI application
read Oracle tutorial, try code example
I'm wondering if there would be any solution to show and focus on browser's tab containing a javafx 2 applet programmatically from the applet.
I don't think there's a simple solution, but who knows :)
PS : Obviously, stage.requestFocus() and stage.toFront() don't work.
No, there's absolutely no way to do this using no custom native bridge doing the job, even with a javascript bridge.
With the next versions of JavaFX neither.
And applets are not supported anymore in Chrome, so I think nobody would try that anymore.
I am developing a application in java swing? In which I need a notedpad. I want to give some extra feature in that notepad, as I want to open mycomputer, control panel, browser etc. directly from the notepad menu? Can you help me someway to do this task?
Also consider the features in java.awt.Desktop.
You can execute external programs in Java with Runtime.getRuntime().exec().
