[dev mar 07] If you attempt to run any target from an Ant project from within the IDE which has a slash in its name (e.g. core/javahelp/build.xml named "core/javahelp"), and you are not reusing output tabs (so that each execution names the tab according to the project and maybe target), and you are using output tab redirection, a stack overflow occurs and no output is shown. Reason: OutputTabTerm.redirOpen did not escape the slash, thus trying to make a file such as "$nbuser/output/core/javahelp.out"; since only the directory $nbuser/output/ exists (not the subdir core/), redirFile.createNewFile() fails with an IOException; printStackTrace sends this to standard error; Ant execution redirects stderr, so this goes back to term, causing a loop. Solution: (1) use ErrorManager for all exception reporting from output tab code, since it does not send to stderr but straight to the log file, preventing cycles during Ant execution; (2) redirPrint should check for redirWriter still == null after calling redirOpen(), which can happen in case of errors, and ignore (continue printing to GUI); (3) redirOpen should escape the platform separator character before constructing an output filename.

I have a patch for OutputTabTerm.java which seems to work fine.

Ales do you think you could commit this patch for me? I am having a bit of trouble with updating CVS at the moment (to do a clean build & test run), otherwise I would commit it myself. Thanks in advance.
