Description athompson 2009-07-01 16:40:22 UTC 
1. install netbeans 6.7 or a daily build
2. at the command prompt:
   rm -r .netbeans/ .asadmintruststore .personalDomain/
3! start netbeans.  often (usually on my laptop), the output window is created as an editor window and there's no way to
put it in its proper place.

the times that the output window is created in the right place, it appears to start off as an editor window (and a peer
to the Start Page) before it is 'transformed' into a standard window at the bottom of the IDE.  so maybe it's a race
condition...

Comment 2 athompson 2009-07-01 16:48:45 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200907010200)
Java: 1.6.0_14; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 14.0-b16
System: Linux version 2.6.30-10-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
Userdir: /home/alvin/.netbeans/dev

this is an Ubuntu Karmic system, but IIRC it happens on Jaunty as well.
Comment 3 athompson 2009-07-01 16:53:02 UTC 
to be more explicit, the problem is that the Output window often never gets transformed into the proper window type, and
thus remains as an editor-type window.
Comment 4 athompson 2009-08-21 15:49:53 UTC 
if, during install, you uncheck the 'features on demand' 'feature' you usually get the problem on first startup.
Comment 5 Stanislav Aubrecht 2009-09-09 14:52:44 UTC 
seems like a problem in 'ergonomics', some module opens output window before core.io.ui module where output 'mode' is
defined loads/activates
Comment 6 athompson 2009-09-09 14:57:50 UTC 
see my previous comment...
Comment 7 Jaroslav Tulach 2009-09-10 08:12:26 UTC 
See athomson's previous to previous comment. The FoD is not even installed and the problem can still appear.
Comment 8 Stanislav Aubrecht 2009-09-10 14:16:25 UTC 
athompson, please attach your ide log next time you encounter this issue, thanks

Comment 10 Stanislav Aubrecht 2009-10-26 18:36:27 UTC 
it seems that glassfish domain is being created before the window system is loaded and activated
Comment 11 Stanislav Aubrecht 2009-10-26 19:12:06 UTC 
i've checked ModuleInstall class for j2ee.sun.appsrv81 module and the registration is invoked correctly in
WindowManager.invokeWhenUIReady()
but there are some other public static methods that might be invoked from elsewhere, reassigning to glassfish team for
evaluation
