In Eclipse, can I have multiple Console views at once, each showing a different Console?

Eclipse Problem Overview


I'm working on some applications that, in debug mode, log to the console. I'd like to run and debug them from inside of Eclipse, and view the console for each one simultaneously. However, I have a single Console tab that shows a single Console output at a time. Is there a way I can split the consoles into multiple views so that I can have side-by-side console output?

Solution 1 - Eclipse

Yes,

  • located near your console tab should be a button "Open Console".
  • If you click this button one of your options should be "New Console View".

You'll now have 2 console views.

  • One of your other buttons near your console tab is "Display Selected Console". When you choose this option you can select from any of your running applications.
  • Just select the tab, select which application you want it to watch, and repeat for the other tab.

You can then move your 2 console views to wherever you want independently of each other.

I'm using Eclipse Helios Release with build ID: 20100617-1415.

Solution 2 - Eclipse

The best thing you can do is the following.

Window > New Window. 

That will create another eclipse window like you currently have. Run the desired application, switch the console on the new window to display the desired console output with open console button on the console view.

A bit clunky but the only way to get multiple consoles at the same time. If your new windows doesn't have console open use

Window > Show View > Console

Goodluck

The post of Chase Henslee it's correct after click on 1, you must deactivate the second behavior with second step and at finish you can change the console with 3 step.
