Hi Tom, this feature is not available in 6.8.

With response to your specification where are you referring to having =
the two documents "selected", apart from splitting the two documents in =
the IDE so you can seem them both at the same time there isn't really a =
way for the IDE to tell which documents are "selected" except for the =
currently focussed document.

If you have the documents selected in the tree then you would be able to =
reopen them again from the solution/files navigators.

If you feel there is a need for this feature please feel free to raise =
an issue http://netbeans.org/community/issues.html
