As quickly as you can turn your back on Visual Studio. (Sorry, just kidding ... sort of.) Eclipse and NetBeans are a couple IDEs (there are others) that use a module system to build what can appear to be a monolith. Look into OSGi which is an attempt to standardize modularizing GUIs. Of course, I haven't run these tools on 500k lines of C++ just half that of java code. P.S. I used "find . -name \*.java | xargs cat | wc -l" to count the lines of java code. I did not use the IDE for that, giggle.
