The Processes window is an attached popup in the bottom right hand corner of the IDE. Since it is an attached popup, I'd imagine it is used briefly, then closed (this is how I use it). Therefore, would be nice if would show more than the 3 process it currently shows. As many as can fit within the IDE window???
how often do you have more than 3 processes there? can you give a usecase? or provide a screenshot? maybe the issue shall be addressed elsewhere (reducing the number of runnign processes)
I very often have more than 3 processes running. I am developing a distributed, loosely coupled system (with ActiveMQ). I have 7-10 processes running at a time, all of which are in a state of development, and all need to be up for the system to work. Since the system is loosely coupled, I can hot swap apps: change the code on one app, then kill it and bring it up with the new code, without affecting the system as a whole.
