I had exactly the same problem another user (arghtype) is having here in this question's thread: How to enable duplicate tabs in Eclipse? (i.e. duplicate windows)
Although, it is only an answer post that doesn't necessarily achieve what we both want.
It recommends opening a separate, duplicated window, which is a bit resource heavy for what I need.
I wanted to formally ask this question in case anyone has the appropriate answer instead of a work-around or compromise, or we can open a feature request in the Eclipse work item tracker, and this way the answer and any history can become more apparent for this specific issue.
Also note I have tried the Menu options "Window" > "Show View" > "Other...", and then have selected the view/panel I wanted, with the current one in my UI both selected and unselected in different cases, and I still do not receive a duplicate panel.
I would also appreciate sources such as links to any documentation, or at least a screen shot with an answer, since I am very carefully not asking about the editor panel in the UI, which is commonly found as an issue on the internet.
To add, my specific case is using RTC 5.0.2 with Eclipse 4.2.2 (Juno), and I would like
multiple "Work Items" panels open for my workflow. One for overall reference, one for current, immediate work, and any more for what have you.
Another related source I found that all seem to speak about the similar, more prevalent issue, specifically concerning only the editor tab/panel:
How do you split a window/view in Eclipse IDE?
Edit:
I have opened an Eclipse Bug/Enhancement request for the UI here: Bug 471001 - Allow user to create duplicate panels in perspective view.
We will see how it is handled. Either my version is too old to have this feature, or it does not exist, and could prospectively be added.

I am new to VSCode and was wondering if it is possible to create additional tabs in the panel (With an Extension or just with VSCode). For example an interaktive Python window like in VS2019.
I haven't found anything on this topic, whether it is possible or not, so maybe you know if it is possible ( or planned for the future).
It is the same question that #Gama11 linked, but unfortunately it has not been answered so I can't mark it as duplicated. Right now it is not possible, but the January 2020 changes shows the experimental "Moving views from the Sidebar to the Panel". Even though This is only a preview of the features and many aspects of it are likely to change including the limitations mentioned above. it still gives me hope that this might be possible at some point.
I am very new to rcp. In my plugin, I have three perspectives and In a perspective, I have 4-5 views, I want to create a toolbar specific to the slected perspective. I searched a lot for this but unable to find any answer, please help me in this.
One solution is to create an extension using org.eclipse.ui.actionSets that contains a set of actions you want to be displayed in the tool bar when a specific perspective is selected. Then there is a extension point called org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions where you can associated a action set ID (the one you created) with a persepctive ID and that action set is only shown when the perspective is active. In terms of "creating your own tool bar" that is in clear. There is always only one toolbar but based on the perspective/view selection items can be hidden or active.
This thread is dead and the answer posted is no more valid. so it doesn't help me. please refer the link below.
This question is correct, on which no one is responding, after last response. The Last repose which is not correct for the current eclipse development, as actionSets is a deprecated API now. Below link clearly mentions that this is deprecated.

I have same related question and created another thread, which addresses more than this question too. Hope that is helpful.
In RCP Eclipse(Neon) Development, how to enable a created perspective
I want to ask my co-workers Alice and Bob specific questions about particular lines in code, e.g. com.example.HelloWorld.java:l.435. It would be nice if I could take some links out of eclipse, mail them in text form to another developer (also using eclipse) and go over to the co-worker and talk about those lines (without manually going to com.example.HelloWorld.java:l.435), but have some clickable link instead.
I know the bookmarks feature of eclipse, but I don't see a how to insert bookmarks.
Edit: I think I'm going to create a plug-in to make bookmarks create a fake exception stacktrace, which can be inserted into stack trace console. Has the benefit that the receiver can use it without installing something. [added code-review tag]
There is no way built-in to do that kind of thing, but it's an interesting idea for a plugin. Have you tried searching in the Eclipse Marketplace (available from the Help menu) to see if there's anything close?
An alternative that might meet your productivity need (thought not your specific feature request), is real-time shared editing via the DocShare feature of ECF. If your entire team were to set this up, you could use it to do a shared editing session with teammates.
is there any way, to enable a dropdown list of methods or functions, on the Editor Toolbars of NetBeans 7, like VS does? , i mean the toolbar that is inside on the tab of each file when you are editing a code, that has some options like, "last edit, next breakpoint, next bookmark, ..."
In VS is really helpful this feature, to jump of functions o methods more quickly, i know that netbeans has the navigator, but sometimes this help more

There is no way provided by standard NetBeans IDE offering or certified plugins available in NetBeans Update center, but a NetBeans plugin can be written for doing what is expected in your question. Has it been done? In my opinion no, as no one asked till now. Now that you have asked someone may think of developing such a plugin.
Best way to expedite such request and feature to be added to NetBeans is to add a Request for Enhancement in the NetBeans issue tracker.

There are many ways to reach specific methods in NetBeans IDE. You have already listed one and that is Navigator. Others include GoTo Type [CTRL+O] and GoTo Symbol [CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+O]
Is there any way to save my code folding in eclipse?
It's horrible to scroll trough my entire UI declaration. (And yes, I googled it! :)
The question is very similar to Is there a way to collapse all code blocks in Eclipse? .
I'm re-posting my answer there here.
The question is a bit old, but let me add a different approach. In addition to the above hot-key and utility approaches, there are default preference settings that can be toggled.
As of Eclipse Galileo (and definitely in my Eclipse Version: Indigo Service Release 2 Build id: 20120216-1857) language specific preferences can open up new files to edit which are already collapsed or expanded.
Here is a link to Eclipse Galileo online docs showing the feature for C/C++: http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.cdt.doc.user/reference/cdt_u_c_editor_folding.htm .
In my Eclipse Indigo I can open the Folding Preferences window via : menu/ Window/ Preferences/ Java/ Editor/ Folding and set all options on so I can open files by default that are completely collapsed.
Amongst other things, Mylyn allows you to fold/hide content and persist the state.
Mylyn monitors your work activity to identify relevant information, and uses this task context to focus the user interface on the task-at-hand. This puts the information you need at your fingertips and improves productivity by reducing searching, scrolling, and navigation. By making task context explicit Mylyn also facilitates multitasking, planning, reusing past efforts, and sharing expertise.
Once Mylyn is enabled it will start folding/hiding the content. If you have an active task (can use a local task repository) the state should be persisted between sessions. Alternatively you can attach the state to the task (sorry don't have Eclipse to hand to check the exact method to do this) then retrieve it. This is useful if you are sharing tasks with others.
I know this isn't exactly what you were asking, but this was really helpful for me:
Ctrl+Numpad_Multiply can also be used
to expand all
Ctrl+Shift+Numpad_Divide is bound to
collapse all
Ctrl+Numpad_Divide toggles folding on
and off
(Taken from this post: Is there a keyboard shortcut in Eclipse to fold the current method/block? )
This, and plenty other issues of Eclipse made me switch to JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA. It's worth sneaking a peek at it if you find Eclipse's performance annoying, need more control on your code formatting or if you just want to have your code foldings persisted.
I'm not using it for too long now but it seems pretty handy for anyone developing in the Java, Android or Scala corner.
