Description mbarnes 2008-04-18 22:21:25 UTC

I've been using NetBeans 6.01 on Win XP for weeks.
This week, suddenly I can no longer get an "Output"
Tab on my Output Window.

When I do a build, I have no way to see the results
beyond what appears in the Status Bar at the bottom
of the GUI.

If I select Window -> Output -> Output nothing happens

If I click Ctl-4 nothing happens.

I have tried restarting NetBeans.
I have tried rebooting my system.

I do have a Search Results Tab in the Output Window.
Same for "Versioning Output" and "Usages", etc.

There's just no build output.
No build output means no Java Compiler output.
If I can't see compile errors how do I fix my code?

This has a SEVERE impact on the usefulness of NetBeans.

Never mind.
I rebooted again and I can get the Output Window again.

Comment 2 mbarnes 2008-07-23 18:04:41 UTC

It has happened again.  NO OUTPUT WINDOW!

I have both restarted NB and rebooted Win XP and and I still have no Output Window

This time, no Versioning Output & No Build Output.

Reassigning to "core".

Comment 4 Lukas Hasik 2008-07-28 09:47:09 UTC

could you try to press - "Window > Reset Windows" menu item? It should set all the windows into default positions.
Could you backup content of <nb_userdir>/config/Windows2Local directory and attach it here? 

What OS, JDK, window manager, etc?

thank you

Without requested information for long time - INVALID. We can't do anything in this case, so please reporter add
requested information and reopen issue. Thanks in advance.

Netbeans IDE 8.2 - still getting the same behavior: after closing the output window it can't be opened again.
after window -> reset windows, issue solved.

please note: regarding user interface, ctrl-4 open output, but ctrl-f4 close current window - might lead to some problems for the users if pressng f4 instead 4.
