workaround of sorts (under window xp, and possibly other platforms): - open netbeans - drag the Output window off the app to create a separate (JDialog) window - exit the app while taking care that the Output window remains in focus (click the [x] in the top right corner in the main window in WinXP) - open WindowManager.wswmgr from the .netbeans/config/Windows2Local directory - locate the <active-mode .../> tag, and note the content of the 'name' attribute - in .netbeans/config/Windows2Local/Modes, locate the corresponding .wsmode file - open it and change <kind type="something" /> to <kind type="editor" /> - save - cross fingers - open netbeans - with luck, find a detached toplevel editor JFrame containing the output window. :-) Of course, the _easy_ way would be to add "-J-Dnetbeans.winsys.allow.dock.anywhere=true" to the command line, drag the output window over to the editor area, and from there off the app. :) |
