Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue through Settings → Java → Gradle → Output with Reuse Output Tabs enabled, then run two builds of the same Gradle project. Compare this behavior with Maven output reuse and identify the Gradle output-window entry point involved. Done means consecutive Gradle builds reuse the existing output tab.
