Tomcat startup console should receive user input. When I start tomcat from inside netbeans I have 2 tabs opened - "Tomcat6" and "Tomcat log" - none of them can receive user input. This feature might be needed for example when developing OSGI applications for tomcat - to be able to enter commands to OSGI console. For example see http://techdistrict.kirkk.com/2009/02/16/embedding-osgi-in-tomcat/ - not netbeans-related article which just shows that user input to osgi console would be required after running catalina.sh
