Description _ gtzabari 2005-11-24 19:14:42 UTC
dev build 200511211900

I get the general feeling that there are too many "tabs" in the Output Window
when debugging a web application. Right now I am looking at:

Bundled Tomcat (5.5.9) log
Bundled Tomcat (5.5.9)
Debugger Console
ApplicationName (run)

Out of these four tabs, all but "Bundled Tomcat (5.5.9)" are useless to me. The
Tomcat log window is always empty, the Debugger Console outputs a lot of
information that I don't need to know (if a thread stops I know because I see it
visually in the debugger, why would I need this written down in the output
window?). The application output tab is also useless because webapps don't
output to stdout; any stdout/stderr output goes into "Bundled Tomcat (5.5.9)".

Can't we unify all these tabs and discard all the useless information? Just my 2
cents.

This is similar to problem DB-19 listed in the Debugger usability report:

This issue is also related to bug 84842

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
