h2. context
* Editing a Swing GUI form (call this Window #1)
* Also displaying the Java source code in second window (call this Window #2)
* Working with view side-by-side
h2. expected / desirable
* Locate the Designer specific panels with the GUI designer
** The Palette
** The Properties display - which only relates to the GUI designer
* These should be in same frame
h2. actual
* Refer to screenshot
* The GUI designer Palette is displayed in Window #2
** And Not With the GUI form being worked on.
** This makes using the Palette from the other window cumbersome.
* The GUI properties panel is displayed in Window #2
** Again you need to change context to examine any properties
* Commonly different windows are actually on different monitors and locating palette and properties elsewhere doesn't make a lot of sense in the modern day.
* A second problem is that when you are editing the JAVA file the palette/properties area still shows!
** With nothing to display - Just a grey large mass of wasted screen area
