Eclipse 3.2 where did my console go?

Just installed the new eclipse 3.2. Now the standard out console seems to have disappeared. I have the console window open, it says No consoles to display at this time. I can choose between Java Stack Trace console, CVS console and New console View (which just brings up another console view witht the same problem.

At first glance, and searching 10 min in menues and preferences I can’t find my standard out console. I know this is a very newbish question, but maybe someone has a quick answer for me.

cheers

Window -> Show View -> Console

Or ALT+SHIFT+Q, C

If you run a program that writes to standard out, a console will automagically appear in your console window / view / thingie
At least it does, here ! I’m using Eclipse 3.2 as well.

The problem was that no output was written even though I had a console view. But after switching workspace, and switching back it magically works again :).

I’ve had that happen several times - and i’m still using 3.1 =)

I’m not sure of the circumstances to replicate it, but I think it only happens the first time you run something that generates output - as if eclipse is failing to correctly capture the console pipe.

yeah, I’m using 3.1.2 and sometimes I get that problem also…restarting eclipse usually solved the problem. But what really annoys me it is that every time I open a project some class isn’t recognized (the most recent I wrote) and I get tons of errors in files that use it. The problem dissapears if I open that class, change something and change back to be able to do save, and save.

Happened to me few times as well. I suspect it happens when you start the Eclipse, and you hit “run” too soon, before some internal Eclipse stuff initializes.

Hmm, i would say thats a typical lazy load side effect :wink:

#9

Hmmm do you think feedback on this to the Eclipse team would be great? or should we just leave it as it is…

cause to me is getting a bit more irritating… lolz

Maybe they allready know about it and it will be fixed. But if it really depends on the lazy loading, then i assume that there will no fix for it. Cause not everyone has the console enabled by default…mine is.
