Just in case I did not make this clear for any one else who may be 
reading this, I was referring to this technique:

    http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,22496,00.html

I just noticed that the article says it applies to JBuilder 3.5.  I am 
not sure if I ever tried it with JBuilder 4, but I am guessing it will 
work.

I use a program called Vern (http://oneguycoding.com).  It is a virtual 
desktop utility, but it has that capability built into it.  To show a 
hidden window, open the properties dialog and go to the "Processes" 
tab.  Select the "Show Hidden" checkbox, and then select the JBuilder 
console window in the list.  The window should have the same name as 
the executable; it is named "D:\Java\JBuilder4\bin\JBuilder.exe" for 
JBuilder's console window on my system.  Then press the "Show" button 
and you should see the window.

Yes, it can be pretty handy if you need to see JBuilder's output and 
have not already redirected the output.  I have used it to look at 
JBuilder's window on a number of occasions.

And in case you were wondering, you can install it on a system and use 
it without rebooting.  I once ended up with a hidden window as a result 
of another virtual desktop program failing, so I could not do a save, 
and I had several hours of work invested.  If I tried to shut the 
system down, it would warn me that the work was not saved, but the 
dialog had no save option -- just quit and cancel.  I could not bring 
myself to press quit.  I finally thought of Vern, installed it, and 
made the window visible again.  Vern saved my bacon that time.

It is also interesting to scrounge around looking at all of the 
"windows" that exist on your system.
