Netbeans used to have a multi-window interface years ago and had an
option in the Menu to switch to single-window back and forth. That may
be the way to go especially for software which will benefit from two or
even more monitors (and gimp is definitely such a program).

Nowadays Netbeans is a single window only program (with a limited
facility to detach some content to a separate window) and is not able to
use a multi monitor desktop to its full extend. What a pitty.
