[netbeans] How to recover closed output window in netbeans?

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?

This question is related to netbeans window output recover

The answer is


Go to the window tab: Then click on Output. This will allow you to place it anywhere on the screen. Or just use ctrl+4


shorter way: 1-Alt + Shift + R 2-Ctrl + 4 second way:(in menus of netBeans) 1-go to window tab 2-go to IDE tools 3-click on Test Result 4-again in window tab click on Output


Go to window tab - reset windows - run your program. - then right click on bottom of the tab where program running


Right click on Apache Tomcat under Services window. Stop the server, then start it again...both log and output window will reappear


Here is solution

  1. First go to service window which is next tab to project tab...
  2. then right click on apache tomcat
  3. click view server log and view server output

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.


I was having the same problem. Currently I am using the version 8.1, First of all go to the window tab, that is just before the tab help. Click on window and there click reset "Reset Window", after that in the bottom right click on the tab where your project runs, right click 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.


try Window--> Reset Windows in netbean Caution: be aware, that all your windows settings are away after that!


Go to Server tab and Right Click you will see the View Output Log.

Netbeans --> Your Server --> RightClick --> View Output

I had this same issue recently and none of the other fixes worked. I got it to show finally by switching to the "Services" tab, right-clicking on "Apache Tomcat or TomEE" and clicking "Restart".


Easy way, just write some wrong code and Run > Build it will show the error in output window.

I tried all of the above but no success, just this one worked.


Just go through "View" and select IDE Log. it will show the output.


In NetBeans 7.4, Under Window menu, click on "Reset Window". Then NetBeans will disappear and reappear. At last, after it reappears, click on "Output" under Window menu.


in Netbeans 7.4 try Window -> Output OR Ctrl + 4
