You might look at Talks2 which seems to be getting better all the
time:

(Folks interested in a "multiple windows" Squeak type thing which is
deployable on JVMs should probably check 'em out, too.)

The in-browser demo is limited but very very very interetsing. YOu can
open up workspaces and class browsers and find implementers and senders
and get a debugging window...pretty cool.
