I am using this Version of eclipse Version: Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1) is there anyway in eclipse to separate the variables window when Debugging code to watch it at the other screen?
All the views are separable. Just drag the tab to another location and the view will appear in its own window.
Maybe this could be an solution

You could "detach" all views and arrange them on your "secondary"
monitor. Each view will appear in a window of its own, but you can stack
several views by dragging them into the same window.

Is fast view removed in eclipse oxygen? It was very useful for me when I'm in a maximized code editor.
Fast view are still available in Eclipse Oxygen, but maybe Show in the Original Location is enabled by mistake:
In addition, there is also an option per fast view regarding the size: right-click on the view button and choose Orientation > Default to make the view resizable horizontally and vertically.
I have eclipse INDIGO version for Android development. I don't know how but by mistake eclipse view is changed.I want to restore my eclipse view again as before just help me.I want to set my eclipse view in horizontal way i.e. package view and open classes view should be in column wise like.
Now it looks like:
Try Window -> Reset Perspective...
Version: Eclipse 4.2 Codename: Juno
I don't see a fast view bar in eclipse 4.2. I can't rightclick on a view and enable fast view. The fast view options under General -> Perspectives does nothing.
Was the fast view feature removed or am I missing something?
I've looked up at http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftasks-9b.htm , but that didn't help either.
The single Fast view bar has been replaced by minimized stacks. Now you simply drag your views into one stack and then minimize it.
I have created a request to get back the original behavior (from platform 3.x):

Vote for it if you are equally interested.
It is bit tricky read the documentation properly search for fast view bar in the eclipse documentation. in General -> Perspective area set the radio button to fast view and enable hide empty fast view bar. after opening the navigator minimize the navigator now reopen the navigator and click esc it should be working..
If you are missing the views previous located in the fast view?
Use the "Quick Access" search field to find the views.
(located in the top bar to the left of perspective views: Java, Debug etc.)
To view all, click spacebar.
Just open a New Window: main menu | Window | New Window
The Perspective switching bar will be recovered for the new window and you can close the original window.
I'm using Eclipse Indigo Service Release 1 on two screens. I have the main window with editor and navigator on the main screen, while outline and console are in two separate windows on the second screen.
When I focus the main window, the two separate also come up. And this is the point: I want to focus the two separate windows manually, when I need them.
Is there a way to do this?
You can't do it with simple "detached" views like you're describing. But you can use Window > New Window to open a second Eclipse Workbench window, drag that to your second monitor, then configure it with whatever Views as you please. The two windows are focused independently (at least on OS X they are, I don't have Windows or Linux to test with).
No. Those are dependent palette windows, their focus is tied to the main window.
What you can do: Copy your perspective, close the two views in the copy and switch between the perspectives when you need or want to hide the separate views.
That's how I do it. Two perspectives, one compact when I need the second screen completely, one verbose when I concentrate on the code alone.
I'm creating a simple eclipse application which will contain only views. I've chosen to use only views so users can arrange and stack their views however they like (since editors and views cannot be stacked together). There also isn't any need for a traditional "editor" and I don't want the editor space always showing. But, enough about my decision to use only views.
I was wondering if there is a way for a view to contribute to the main menu for the application? For example, can switching views cause the main application menu to change?
You can use the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point and set your command to only be visible when the view is active.
