GUI issue

[Michael B.]

Suppose to have three different ImagePlus objects, like these:
ImagePlus imp1 = IJ openImage("FirstImage tiff");
ImagePlus imp2 = IJ openImage("SecondImage jpg");
ImagePlus imp2 = IJ openImage("ThirdImage tiff");

How can I display these images into a single Frame ?
(and multiple tabs ?)
How can I display a generic ImagePlus object into a any kind of UI component (AWT or Swing) like Panel,JPanel,JTabbedPane,etc  ?

I'm studying the IJ code, and every image display process turn around the ImageWindow class that extend a Frame
Inside this class there is a reference to a SINGLE image and HIS SINGLE canvas
So, it seem that IJ was developed along the concept to display just one image/or/stacks into a single Frame
Then, no way to add several ImagePlus (then image or stacks) objects into a Frame: is it correct ?
Or   is possible to create something like the two following schemas ?
(in a rapid way, without changing the logic of the ij gui packages)


(Tab1 is Visibile)

This example http://imagej nih gov/ij/plugins/download/Panel_Window java
can create something like this:

Cool, but not enough for my purpose

Do you know how to modify the Panel_Window java example in order to
create a more generic GUI like the previous "My Custom GUI" ?
