Description
### Description
Dear Netbeans developers!
There is a suggestion: make the tabs in the Output window movable so that you can see the contents of several tabs at the same time.
### Use case/motivation
When running two projects at the same time, it will be very convenient to see the output in the Output window in two tabs at once: project1(run) and project2(run). This will be convenient when debugging client-server applications.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the NetBeans Output window and its tab implementation, then review how its current tabs are created and displayed. Done means users can move Output tabs and view multiple project outputs at the same time, as described in the use case and screenshot.
