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: http://ui.netbeans.org/usability/debugger_Sep_06/report.html?1202029886102#DB19
