Hi, When i detach wiews in eclipse on ubuntu, eg package explorer, it shows up as a separate window in ubuntu (Eclipse ends up taking up 4 windows, and that makes alt-tabbing through my open programs a pain)
Is there a way to fix this so Eclipse only show up as one window in ubuntu no matter how many vews are detached?
Eclipse probably opens the views was windows, not as dialogs. You can check this: Try to move one of the views behind the main Eclipse window. If you can do this, it's not a dialog (or the dialog wasn't initialized right ...)
In this case, using non-modal dialogs might be better.
I'd file a bug against Eclipse: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/
Actually found this in the Eclipse bugzilla.
A workaround is to close and reopen detached views when restarting the workbench
