---------------------------------------

             Summary: Terminal should use cmd, bash, cygwin, PowerShell or whatever.
                 Key: NETBEANS-182
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-182
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: cnd - Terminalemulator
    Affects Versions: Next
         Environment: NetBeans 8.2, Windows 10 x64
            Reporter: Christian Lenz


I don't know why NetBeans only can work with a shell, which is installed as cygwin for Windows or when you use NetBeans on a *nx operating system. NetBeans should use cmd.exe, cygwin, WSL (Bash - Ubuntu on Windows), PowerShell or whatever you want.

Visual Studio Code uses this approach and it makes sense. I don't need to change the window to use my cmd outside of NetBeans. I can use any feature in NetBeans in my CMD or powershell, when it is inside NetBeans, w/o switching windows or a desktop etc.

So long story short, NetBeans can only handle shell applications, natively installed on *nx systems or via cygwin for Windows. But it should be possible to use any shell/command line that you want on any operating system.

Windows - cmd, powershell and with Windows 10 the WSL (Ubuntu on windows, which is now stable and part of the ubuntu subsystem, no emulation)

*nx - Bash, sh, fish whatever.

Mac - similar to *nx

So we need first the possibilty, that NetBeans should handle more than a shell AND we need an option, if you open the terminal, you have to choose your favorite shell/command line and set it to default, to open a new tab, w/o choosing again (new option for this).
