How to recover closed output window in netbeans?

Question

It often happens to me that I want to clear the current output window by using the context menu, but instead of hitting the Clear entry, I accidently hit the Close entry (which is directly below Clear).

How can I get that output window back!?

Via Window/Output/Output I only get the container tab for all output windows. How can I reopen the output window of a currently running application?

Answer 1

In the right bottom edge there are information about NetBeans updates. Left to it, there's the tasks running (building, running application etc). Click on it, right click the process you want and select Show Output.

If you run the server in normal mode you can recover the log by restarting the main project in debug mode. It seems that NB opens a new server log when the server run mode changes.

If you want to see three windows along with Log Then go to windows on NetBeans then output and click NetBeans->windows->output. Next go to service next to you project select server right click on it select server log and server output NetBeans->service(next to you project)->server->View server log and view service output.
