Christian Lenz created NETBEANS-182:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Terminal should use cmd, bash, cygwin, PowerShell or
whatever.
Key: NETBEANS-182
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-182
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: cnd - Terminalemulator
Affects Versions: Next
Environment: NetBeans 8.2, Windows 10 x64
Reporter: Christian Lenz
I don't know why NetBeans only can work with a shell, which is installed as
cygwin for Windows or when you use NetBeans on a *nx operating system. NetBeans
should use cmd.exe, cygwin, WSL (Bash - Ubuntu on Windows), PowerShell or
whatever you want.
Visual Studio Code uses this approach and it makes sense. I don't need to
change the window to use my cmd outside of NetBeans. I can use any feature in
NetBeans in my CMD or powershell, when it is inside NetBeans, w/o switching
windows or a desktop etc.
So long story short, NetBeans can only handle shell applications, natively
installed on *nx systems or via cygwin for Windows. But it should be possible
to use any shell/command line that you want on any operating system.
Windows - cmd, powershell and with Windows 10 the WSL (Ubuntu on windows, which
is now stable and part of the ubuntu subsystem, no emulation)
*nx - Bash, sh, fish whatever.
Mac - similar to *nx
So we need first the possibilty, that NetBeans should handle more than a shell
AND we need an option, if you open the terminal, you have to choose your
favorite shell/command line and set it to default, to open a new tab, w/o
choosing again (new option for this).
