Integrated Terminal Window in NetBeans? - netbeans

I recently started using NetBeans, but there is a missing feature which keeps me from switching completely to NetBeans. I use the Terminal all the time and it is a pain to switch from the NetBeans window to the Terminal one.
Is there a way to have a terminal window embedded into the NetBeans IDE (most Linux editors have this capability)?

A bit late answer. Netbeans 7.4 has an inbuilt support for terminal emulator. All you need is to go to Window->IDE Tools->Terminal.

Using NetBeans 8.0.2, this option can be found by going to Window->IDE Tools->Terminal in the menu.

have you seen this?

or this

I am not really seeing that much out there. I wonder how hard it would be to take the plugin from jEdit and integrate it into netbeans.

IDE Breakpoints for GWT 2.5 SourceMaps in Chrome?

I have started using GWT 2.5 with Eclipse as my IDE. When using the debugger in Chrome, it is onerous to sort through the source file listing to set my breakpoints. It is even worse when I already have the relevant code open in Eclipse, and I have to find it in Chrome now.
Is there a way to set a breakpoint in Eclipse, and make use of that in Chrome?
This seems like a natural concept given the existence of SourceMaps. If it isn't already a part of the SourceMaps specification, perhaps it should be.
That's not possible in Eclipse (yet?)
I've been told JetBrains is working on it for IntelliJ IDEA though.
If you're using Javascript, then why not just add the line
debugger;
to your code?
It should pause execution on that line, and you can do it from eclipse/whatever IDE you're using.

Drag files into NetBeans to open

I updated my Netbeans from version 7.0 to 7.1.2. One of the first things I noticed is that I can no longer drag files from my explorer window into netbeans to open it. Does anyone know why I can no longer do so? Or if you know of a setting or something to get this to work as it did in the previous version that would be great. I have scoured the internet for a solution but have not been able to find and answer.
EDIT
I had updated my version of NetBeans and it had worked for a couple weeks but no I am no longer able to open files by dragging them onto the IDE.
Hate to say this, but on my Windows 7 box "it just works". Try upgrading your netbeans to a newer installation.
I found the solution to my issue. It looks like if NetBeans is run as administrator then you are no longer able to drag and drop file to open them in the IDE. Turning that off fixed the problem for me.
To do this in Windows 7: right click the Netbeans icon > Properties > Compatibility tab > Change Settings for All Users > unclick "Run this program as an administrator"

Is it possible to script Eclipse?

I would like to script certain eclipse actions that are too repetitive. An example use case would be: Starting Tomcat, Starting GWT debug, then connecting to GWT debug mode. Best case scenario is if this could be done by shell via an external eclipse interface. But I'd settle for a macro in Eclipse itself as well. Are there any solutions as such?
Thanks!
See my answer at How can I launch more than one debug session in Eclipse from a single click? . The same plugin can work for you as well.
There is a little macro plug-in for Eclipse that seems to work for what you'd want.

Visual GUI Buider

Is there a visual GUI builder, such as GWTDesigner that one could use in developing with Grails? I am new to Grails and am presently working from the command line and using a text editor. I have briefly looked at using Eclipse and Netbeans as IDEs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know of a specific GUI builder for Grails, but if I'd had to choose between Eclipse and Netbeans, then Netbeans clearly wins here - I'd start with it. Just make sure you install Grails support in Netbeans first.
