That's called an "MDI interface". Usability studies shows MDI most of the times is bad interface, and, because of that, Gtk doesn't provide an MDI component (consequently, there isn't one in Java-Gnome). There are 2 solutions: using tabs (doesn't feel 'right' in every situation though) or simply using separate windows - like Gimp does (and is heavily critisized for doing it - lol :D).
