Description
### Description
NetBeans lacks proper support for launching a command line session with cmd or PowerShell and still requires installation of Cygwin.
### Use case/motivation
I would like to be able a command line session in the project or current file directory. Maybe with a chance to choose the shell between the obvious choices for windows: cmd, PowerShell, maybe WSL, maybe Git bash.

Research direction
The issue describes launching a command-line session in the project or current-file directory on Windows, with a choice of cmd, PowerShell, WSL, or Git Bash. Start by locating NetBeans' existing terminal-launching path and Windows shell integration. Done means a session opens in the requested directory without requiring Cygwin, with the supported shell choices defined.
