Hi NB Devs, I have a idea, how to make the output window a bit useful: Output window should be able to collapse the exceptions occured. In many cases the exceptions are wrapped inside anothen exception etc.. and one might need to scroll many pages until the root could be found. We might help with this feature to navigate in the exception mass. There could be the standard [+/-] mark in the left. Two buttons could be added, skip to next exception, skip to prev... Another setting could be, that how many stacktrace element should be shown as default. (collapsed). Cheers, Tamas
Is there any update on this?
This feature cannot be done easily in current OW implementation, so it is not currently planned to be done in near future. Anyway, for navigation between error links (exception stack traces) you can use Ctrl-, Ctrl-.
Perhaps there could be some configurable filters with regexp to grep the output. That would help - one could grep s/ +at [a-z]+(.[a-z]+)*\(.*:[0-9]+\)/i
(moving to 7.0 for reconsideration)
Exceptions are collapsed in the current development build (and NetBeans 7.4 RC2). Thank you for reporting.
