When I execute actions of a regular (ant-based) project, the action names (clean, jar, etc) are shown in the corresponding tabs of the output window. That is the expected behaviour. Unfortunately, when I execute actions of a maven-based project, all tabs in the output window share the same name (see the 'problem.png' file I attached). Thus it is difficult to discover which of the actions is (or was) being executed in each tab. It would be great if the action display name was shown in the corresponding tab of the output window. The same problem exists in version 7.0rc2.
Created attachment 107623 [details] Screenshot demonstrating the issue The tabs in the Output window share the same name inspite of the fact that different actions were executed in the tabs.
As designed, but agreed that including the specified goal(s)/phase(s) in the tab title after the project name would be useful. (7.0 uses <name> for the tab title rather than <groupId>_<artifactId>_<packaging>_<version> as in 6.x.)
> agreed that including the specified goal(s)/phase(s) > in the tab title after the project name would be useful When I execute a custom action, I'd prefer the action display name to be shown. Consider this configuration in nbactions.xml: <action> <actionName>CUSTOM-node8081</actionName> <displayName>jetty: node8081</displayName> <goals> <goal>jetty:run</goal> </goals> <properties> <node.port>8081</node.port> </properties> </action> <action> <actionName>CUSTOM-node8081</actionName> <displayName>jetty: node8081</displayName> <goals> <goal>jetty:run</goal> </goals> <properties> <node.port>8081</node.port> </properties> </action> Both actions share the same goal and phase, so this information would not be enough to distinguish the tabs.
Oops... in my previous post the second action should have been as follows: <action> <actionName>CUSTOM-node8082</actionName> <displayName>jetty: node8082</displayName> <goals> <goal>jetty:run</goal> </goals> <properties> <node.port>8082</node.port> </properties> </action>

@Milos: You recently fixed a similar issue - regarding http://screencast.com/t/GgND0WHfs Does it handle this issue too?
Please add this feature, I have the same problem, I have 3 goals, 2 custom goals and its a pain in the ass to find the right one :/. Voted for this. Regards Chris
