URLs in the output window are improperly converted to hyperlinks

[swpalmer]

When a line of output has a URL, the entire line is made into a link instead of just the URL portion.
This makes the output more difficult to read in some cases.

e.g. try this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("This line has a URL http://netbeans.org/");
}

I had submitted this as a NetBeans issue, not realizing it depended on the project type.

The API I currently use for the output window only has method to print a whole line as an URL only. I will have to look at how it is done in other project types (altough it might not be trivial to change the API I use because I share the output window handling in a public API).

Thanks, I'll try this out.
