Though it was only an example, that would be handy, especially if there would be a move to some more elaborate plot viewer (thinking of zooming and scrolling, data-tips etc etc). But the idea would be more general: I would have jconsole behave the same (except for the IDE thing) as when running the IDE: show windows and so on, unless it's not possible (no display server or whatever). Even better would be a command line (or configuration file) option toggling behaviour (For instance, Matlab's -nodesktop option, disabling just the IDE, but allowing for figures, plots, ... it separately checks whether there is a display available or not). Not to say we should mimic Matlab, but do improve uniformity of the experience had with the different front-ends. I hope this explains better.
