How do I increase the capacity of the Eclipse output console?

EclipseConsole

Eclipse Problem Overview

Even with the "scroll lock" option enabled for the Eclipse console, eventually it overfills and starts auto-scrolling on me.

Is there some way of increasing the capacity of the console so that it stores more lines? I wasn't able to find the option.

Eclipse Solutions

Solution 1 - Eclipse

Under Window > Preferences, go to the Run/Debug > Console section, then you should see an option "Limit console output." You can uncheck this or change the number in the "Console buffer size (characters)" text box below.

(This is in Galileo, Helios CDT, Kepler, Juno, Luna, Mars, Neon, Oxygen and 2018-09)

Solution 2 - Eclipse

Open the Windows > Preferences menu.

Expand the Run/Debug > Console preferences.

Set the Console buffer size (characters) to something much bigger. 2147383647 / ~2GB is the upper limit (or 1000000 / ~1MB in older releases). Or just uncheck the Limit console output.

Solution 3 - Eclipse

For CDT users / C/C++ build, also adjust the setting

in Window > Preferences

under C/C++ > Build > Console (!)

(This time in number of lines.)

This also affects the "CDT Global Build Console".

Solution 4 - Eclipse

Alternative

If your console is not empty, right click on the Console area > Preferences... > change the value for the Console buffer size (characters) (recommended) or uncheck the Limit console output (not recommended):

Solution 5 - Eclipse

On the MAC OS X 10.9.5 and Eclipse Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1), its not found under the Window menu, but instead under: Eclipse > Preferences > Run/Debug > Console.

Solution 6 - Eclipse

Window > Preferences, go to the Run/Debug > Console section >> "Limit console output.>>Console buffer size(characters):" (This option can be seen in Eclipse Indigo ,but it limits buffer size at 1,000,000 )

Solution 7 - Eclipse

Under Window > Preferences, go to the Run/Debug > Console section, then you should see an option "Limit console output." You can unchecked this or change the number in the "Console buffer size (characters)" text box below. Do Unchecked.

This is for the Eclipse like Galileo, Kepler, Juno, Luna, Mars and Helios.

Solution 8 - Eclipse

For C++ users, to increase the Build console output size see here

ie Windows > Preference > C/C++ > Build > Console

Solution 10 - Eclipse

Eclipse has limit of 32000 characters per line. If you have, for example JSONObject, which you want to log into console, you won't succeed. You can't handle this with the checkbox. Tested
