Running with three heads
Greetings,
I have three monitors. I like to have the IDE with the back-end on one
monitor. Another IDE running the front-end on a second monitor. And then,
the browser displaying the app on the third monitor.
The problem I am having is that NB (14) will only allow me to have one
(essentially) head. I know I can open up both projects on the same head,
but I want to see code from both at the same time. So, I'd like to open
two copies of NB. One would be open to my front-end project, and the other
would be open to my back-end project. Can I do this?
Thanks!
Blake McBride

You can drag off any edit window to another display (or even another window on
the same display). The overall interface gets a little weird on a Mac, but
perfectly doable.

You can also run multiple copies by passing in the --userdir parameter
to the launcher. The best way to do this might depend on what package
and OS you're using.
I can't say I do this day-to-day, but for testing purposes I use this
a lot. eg. ./bin/netbeans --userdir /tmp/foo
Best wishes,
Neil
