How to persist Netbeans output window for ease of re-executing

I notice that when I run a file or do a Maven build Netbeans will re-use the same output window tab. That is to say it will overwrite the output tab that was just used for the previous run/build to display the new run/build output.

Often times I do a build then go to one of my Java files and run it. I would like for the build output tab to remain so that I could just hit the "re-run" button on the build output window. The best example I can come up with is Windows' pin to start feature. Essentially I would like to take my build output tab and pin it so that it persists vs getting overwritten with the output of the next runs.

thanks

Go to

Tools -> Options -> Java -> Maven

and uncheck Reuse Output Tabs from Finished Processes

From the documentation :

Reuse Output Tabs from Finished Processes

When selected, Maven output messages are displayed in the same tab in the Output window. When deselected, a new tab is opened for each new Maven process.
