According the ui spec http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/progress_indication/ progress_indication_spec.html#5_behaviour_of_tasks and our off-line discussion the "Output" window will appear only when 1. Any hyperlink (either warning or error) is printed; or 2. An input field is requested. One switch (e.g. Show output window) with two values (1. default, 2.always) can be added to the Options

Also need to register task in Progress API.
Working on it.

Looks great. Thanks, Jesse!
BTW there are two "notes" in http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/progress_indication/progress_indication_spec.html#5_behaviour_of_tasks which I cannot decipher, so if these are still important, please rephrase clearly and explicitly and file bugs for me and I might have time to implement the changes.
IMO having progress bar runing from right to left and back constantly during Ant task is running is not very good UI design, because if user starts application and the application is running the running progress bar only distracts user from paying attention to the running application.
I agree with Milan Kubec. The similar situation arise when debugger stops at breakpoint (issue 63332).
I agree with you, that showing indefinite progress bar during running an application is very disturbing. But we did not want to have this behavior. All we wanted was, that progress bar will appear only during the building, not running an application. Jesse, is it possible to fix this? If not, I would suggest reverting this behavior to the last one.
This was fixed as requested, so please use issue #63332 for any further requests once you figure out what you want. There is no essential difference between "building" and "running" an application. Particular project types could provide hints to Ant about how a given Ant process should be handled in the UI in case it is started via an ActionProvider (rather than e.g. directly from build.xml); this is covered by issue #43072, an API enhancement request which would require cooperation from every Ant-based project type.
