The names of tab in the Output window now may have a * in their name. For example, for Ant output, * is added when the process is running; when it finishes, the * disappears. However, some other tabs (e.g. GlassFish server output or JavaDB Process output), show the * all the time, whether the process is running or not. This is unintuitive and superfluous, the decoration of tab names should be more consistent. Either * should be never shown, or only if the process is running.
It is workaround for JDK issue *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 113388 ***
Tomas, sorry, this is not a duplicate. Please reread the report. I am not saying we should go back to use bold font - I am saying that the asterisk is used too often, and sometimes we should use plain name: in non-bold font, and without asterisk. This has nothing to do with the JDK bug.
Bold (or asterisk for jdk where html tab names are broken) is used whenever the output stream is opened. It seems logical to me to distinguish tabs which are still "active". If you do not like that some tabs are marked as active (bold) while e.g. corresponding process is not running you should file issue against corresponding module (which does not close stream).
That's a question for Petr Hejl - Petr, do you know whether server plugins (including Tomcat for example) do a good job at closing the streams? Could there be issues on the plugins' side?
Based on an off-line discussion, this is an issue in the individual servers. Already fixed for Tomcat: http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/rev/130a709c9cf8 Now reassigning to GlassFish, also cc'ing Jirka for Java DB.
