I agree with Dale.

I think it is one of the area's jEdit suffers compared to .Net ide or
IntelliJ Idea(and possibly eclipse and others).
More flexiblablity with dockable windows would allow docked plugins to
work more in tune with each other.
Perhaps some more drag and drop better them?

I don't think the floating dockables help in this area.  When the dockables are floating, other areas remain hidden or out of focus.
It can often make working with several plugins harder, especially when I need to go back to the OS's task bar to get back to the jedit interface.
