Is there a way (plugin) in Eclipse to open detached windows which can be put on separate monitors: e.g one monitor will have my source, second threads and variables? The feature is in IntelliJ.

As per njol's answer above, once you have your tab detached (showing as floating outside of your Eclipse IDE), simply click on the tab (not on the title of detached tab window) and drag. Then you will see mouse cursor change showing you where you can drop it to attach the tab to IDE. Save this answer.
Detached views and editors are shown in a separate window with a smaller trim. They work like other views and editors except they they are always shown in front of the Workbench window.
Multiple Eclipse windows, same workspace To open multiple Eclipse windows using the same workspace, select Window→ New Window. It's a good idea to use this technique if you want to work in two different perspectives (such as the Java and Debug perspectives) at the same time in different windows.
Yes. From the "Window" menu select "New Window". You can also drag the tabs off of the main window and a new window with just that tab will be created.
If you want a window with just the source code by itself, dragging the tab with the source in it won't work. What you can do is create the new window, drag the source over and minimize any other existing tabs within the new window to essentially leave a "source code only" view. You should be able to save this as a perspective and name it "Editor Only". This is somewhat cumbersome to setup, but once you have the perspective saved it should be pretty easy to get in and out of.
This is available in Helios and possibly earlier versions.

You can right-click on the title of any "View" and choose "Detach", this way you won't need two mail windows.
