Review Comment:
> I really don't like this code. The fix is in the wrong place, if it needs
fixing at all?!
It's ugly, but I do think it needs fixing, as it's a case where a worker
thread would be started and never stopped. Could deplete the laptop battery
over time, long after the user closed the output pane.
Maybe closing Output is less common in the IDE. In my platform app it's
usually closed, though, and looked at only for logging.
> If you close Output with only a single tab, should it explicitly close the
tab???
Probably not, because if the user then clicks Window->Output to reopen the
Output pane, the tabs should remain the way they were. Or not?
Even if we did, the problem would remain if there is more than one tab when
the user closes the pane.
> The updates could possibly be based on activation? A shame that the IO
callbacks are lacking visibility calls, but could be added?
Probably not "activation" in the sense of "focus", because one should be
able to keep seeing the log update even if focus is elsewhere. Visibility is
another option, though.
I could try doing JComponent.addHierarchyListener and listening for
HierarchyEvent.DISPLAYABILITY_CHANGED/SHOWING_CHANGED if you think that is
better?
