window-manager desktop-environment window eclipse

                          I'm running Eclipse and I detached some of the windows. Now I have 4 windows linked to Eclipse. What I need is to be able to identify each individual window and be able to control it. 

If I run tools like: xprop, xwininfo, or wmctrl -l I can retrieve the WM_CLASS and WM_NAME for the main window but I can't get them for the other 3 child windows. 

How can I retrieve the WM_NAME and WM_ROLE for all 4 windows?
