Description arungupta 2013-03-02 15:20:52 UTC 
My typical Output pane has multiple tabs:

Java DB Database Process
GlassFish
Retriever Output
Workspace output
Build

Building a project brings Build tab to the front but then I always have 
to switch back to GlassFish tab to view the output. I'd like the ability 
to "pin" GlassFish or any particular tab so that it always stay in the 
front.

This will be immensely useful to me and others.

Reporter, please clarify: do you want to pin a floating window to stay on top of other floating windows or to stay on top of the main IDE window? The latter works already...

Please clarify the issue and then reopen, thanks.
