Is there a way to detach an editor from the main eclipse window? I know this is possible with netbeans but so far I haven't been able to figure out how to do it (if possible) with eclipse.

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.
[ To split a window, just grab hold of a tab and pull it to the side until it turns into a black arrow. ] [ Leave it and it turns into a new window with a new tab group. ] To have split windows with the same file: Choose Window → New Editor. That creates a new tab of the open file.
Selecting: Window | New Window
Seems to be a close stand in for detaching the editor. This command create a new "main eclipse window" so files can be opened and what not.

With Eclipse Juno you can drag an editor out of the main window to detach it.
