Tearoff Frame and JTabbedPane

[shridhars]

hi!

Has anyone implemented a tearoff frame? In my application, i have to
remove a tab from a JTabbedPane, and show it as a separate frame.

I am able to remove the tab and add it to a new frame, but i am not
able to display the contents on the frame.

Attached is a small example of what i want to achieve. Can anyone
suggest a solution?

On clicking the "Tear off Button", i need to be able to remove the
tab and show it as a part of a separate frame.

Thanks
Shridhar
