Hi.. prior to NB 3.6, I was pleased with the
automatic focus of the Tomcat output tabs when
more text was appended to the buffer. In 3.6, this
seems to have been lost with the new UI rewrite.

I find it very beneficial to have my Tomcat output
tab gain focus if exceptions or Tomcat output is
produced. Specifically, recompiling a class
(assuming Tomcat has been reconfigured to allow
class reloading -- should be on by default in NB
IMHO) it is useful to see when Tomcat has detected
the change and reloaded the class.  Without this
feature, there is an extra click and scroll
associatesd with seeing the results.

Also, it may be useful to add another tab option
to "[x] Follow updates" to prevent the tedious
task of click-scrolling to the end of the output.
