This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
With the implementation of issue #75465 and issue #43143, as far as I know this node is now obsolete and ought to be removed from the GUI. Opinions?
I agree the node should be removed. Somewhat related is also issue# 63586, which should provide some sort of indication that a process is running even after the user closes the output window.
Yes, good point, adding a dep on #63586. (Really that issue is about the API; I should have a separate issue for its usage with Ant.)

There's one problem with this approach, though: usage of keyboard. I've discovered the missing "Processes" node while actually trying to use it to stop a debugging session. I've always used Ctrl-5, go to processes and then invoke (via Shift-F10) the "Terminate" option. I've always believed that NetBeans is a better IDE than others because it makes it very easy to accomplish many useful things just keeping your hands on the keyboard - and the results shown in NetBeans Analytics page seems to support this view. With the "Processes" node gone, it isn't at all clear how/if one could still stop long running applications (or debugging sessions) without reaching for the mouse.
