I need:
main GUI
left buttons
left folder
editor area (monaco with multiple tabs)
footer

My previous install of Eclipse allowed me to drag editor tabs to re-arrange their ordering. For example, if I cloned an editor window and the new tab appeared at the end of the tab row I could drag it to be next to the tab I cloned it from.
I don't know if the ability to drag tabs in my previous install was from a plugin or other modification I installed. To sum up, if I have editor tabs in the order:
TAB-a TAB-b TAB-c
I would like to be able to drag the editor tabs to re-order them:
TAB-a TAB-c TAB-b
I am using Eclipse 4.8, Photon, installed in the past week.
NOTE:
See comment below: it works now, but I don't know what I did to make it work
I'm used to using tabs rather than having many new windows open. I've recently changed (work) computers and now whenever I open an old script or start writing a new one it opens a new instance of the matlab editor. The question is, does anybody know how to change the default to a new tab within the same editor? (hope that makes sense).
Thanks
Open 2 scripts or more. On one of the editor windows press the circled triangle (I am sure it has a proper name):
Select Dock All in Editor.
The files should appear as tabs docked to the matlab desktop.
You can now undock the editor using the same button (you should undock the editor, not a specific file)
Any file you open now should be in a new tab.
Eclipse allow users to split the Editor Area into more one space, giving ability to display two files at the same time ( or the same file if you duplicate it using Window->New Editor)
Is there anyway to split the editor window itself into multiple areas for editors with multiple pages ?
e.g.
Assume you are opening plugin.xml file, and you want to view "plugin.xml" tab/page next to "Extensions" tab/page.
The hard way is :
_- Open the desired plugin.xml file
_- From top toolbar, select Window->New Editor
_- Split the editor area into two areas
_- Select "plugin.xml" tab/page in one editor, and "Extension" tab/page in the other eidtor.
I would like to drag the tab/page to split just like we do for different editor.
If Eclipse does not provide that, Is it doable in custom editor , if Yes then How?
Thanks
No you can't do this with the multipage editors. These editors use the CTabFolder control to show the pages and this control only supports showing one page at a time.
Not sure what you mean by a custom editor. You could write a separate editor for each page so that you could then open these editors separately, which would allow the split. However this would be a huge amount of work.
Is there any way to setup an Eclipse keyboard shortcut which will split the current editor vertically and put the current tab on one side? For example, turning this:

Into:
after http://img.skitch.com/20100118-t2c7g3nctx3w8bth4hq1rpqp9k.png
Not directly with eclipse (3.4 or 3.5)
The closest plugin I have found which might enable what you are looking for is the Split file Editor
Ctrl+6
Usage: Open a file in Eclipse, then select Window -> New Split Editor from the main menu to open a split editor of the file.
(not exactly what you want but:)
Split editor opens in a new tab as opposed to appearing within the existing tab
(so while there may be 2 instances of the same file editor, you still have a situation with one file on one side, and the other files on the other tab group)
There are times when I have a decent number of source files open at once. Is there a way to change the number of rows of tabs that are visible while working in NetBeans?
Also, I have a dual monitor setup here. I could span NetBeans across the two monitors if it were possible to have multiple NetBeans editor windows open at the same time. This is something that I use in the VS Express editions. I tend to group my source files on one monitor and the designer windows in the other. Can I do this in NetBeans?
for versions 8.0.2+:
Tools -> Options -> Appearance -> Document Tabs -> Multi-row tabs
You can also maximum row count if you wish (the default is 3).
There are 2 way's I have done this:
Drag a tab from the editor panel to the side of the editor window until the red outline shows a rectangle running from top to bottom. Drop the tab there and you get another editor pane. Opening from Project or Files will still use the original panel, but you can drag tabs between the panels.
Right click on a tab and choose "Undock Window". This will create a top-level window independent of the main NB window.
When you create files with keyboard shortcuts (eg, Ctrl-N for new file) they will open in the current panel. Likewise, navigating to other files (eg, Ctrl-Shift-B for go to source).
It's not perfect though. Some keyboard actions will dump you back to the main window, then it's Alt-Tab or fiddle with the mouse to get back.
You can control the number of rows of Tabs in Netbeans by going to (on Windows):
Tools>Options>Miscellaneous>Windows> check the multi-row tabs checkbox.
See the maximum row count with the radio button and set your number.
