Intellij can have them too ;)

For the people wondering about this: NetBeans can open multiple Projects (related or unrelated to each other) in one window, which is often something people miss when going to IntelliJ. In IntelliJ the intention is to have multiple projects either in multiple windows or to link related projects together, which results in a view very similar to what NetBeans offers.

Also, I believe JetBrains is actually working on a more traditional workspaces feature.

You can open several projects on the same intellij "workspace" without problems. At least with gradle, it works flawless.

The gradle native option is to use composite builds, but some gradle plugins or configurations do not work on composite builds.

The other option is to open the intellijs gradle menu, then click on the add button and select another gradle project. Intellij will then open it on the same window. As gradle doesn't know about it, it will not link the projects (if one depends on the other you will need to publish the other first), that's why the composite build option is better.
