You can't combine multiple floating panels into one in IntelliJ IDEA. Feel free to submit a feature request.

Too bad, do you know there are any plans for this in v11? – Garrett Hall Nov 17 '11 at 20:41
I didn't find similar request, so it's unlikely. – CrazyCoder Nov 17 '11 at 20:42
I guess I can use the tabs on the main window instead, it is just much less intuitive. I submitted a feature request as well. – Garrett Hall Nov 17 '11 at 21:07

It seems there is no such feature in IntelliJ (at least as of version 11). In my opinion, IntelliJ has much less support to dual monitor than Eclipse. There is an existing feature request: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-77163 , please help to vote it up.

FYI I created that request, was assigned to someone a few months ago. – Garrett Hall Nov 14 '12 at 21:53
