Description swpalmer 2012-07-31 13:49:27 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.2 (Build 201207171143)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_06-ea
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.2-b09

The help for this checkbox says:
"Always Show Output. If selected, fronts the Output window tab if the Ant output requires user input or contains a hyperlink. Output that contains hyperlinks usually denotes an error or warning. If not selected, the IDE always fronts the Output window for all Ant processes."

How does this make any sense? If "Always Show Output" is *not* selected then it will always show the output?  That's completely backwards.  This option needs to be renamed or something.
