This is called MDI or "Multiple Document Interface".
Please read the following bug report, and add yourself as a CC:

For future info, the usual place to ask user questions is the SWT
newsgroup:

[platform-swt-dev] SWT shells, windows, and composites
Is it currently possible to develop a standalone SWT application that
consists of a master widget shell and many smaller free 'shell-like'
windows all contained inside the display of this master so that the OS
only cares about the master window and the child windows are completely
managed within the master shell?
Think how Adobe Photoshop on Windows manages all the open images the user
is working with. The user is free to minimize, maximize, resize, all
these image windows within the context of the single application so that
there aren't a million little application windows listed on their Taskbar.
At first I thought I could make a new Shell the free moving child of a
scrolled Composite widget, but it looks like the javadoc says Shell()s
only come from Displays or other Shells.
Is there another way of building the interface I described above? I'm
very new to SWT and am not familiar with all the widgets and their
capabilities.
