This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When opening the context menu on a running task, it allows me to select "Show output" to reopen a closed output window. However this entry is disabled (greyed out) if the project of the task is a maven project. I don't see any reason for this behaviour and consider this a bug.
