Eclipse write to console

Question

In Eclipse, how can I write a debug statement to a console window? I tried:

System.out.print(urls);

System.out.println(urls);       

Log.d("tag", urls);

But I don't see the values being displayed anywhere.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Create a console and write to it. When a console is created, you give it a name. That way your console output can be kept separate from other plugin's console output. See this article for details.

Answer 2

Are you sure you have the console window in eclipse setup to display output? On the menu bar in eclipse, go to Window->Show View->Console. When you run the program, that console window should be where your System.out.print(ln) output is displayed.

If you are running some kind of client-server application, you may actually have multiple consoles. If you see a console, there should be a little arrow icon next to it. Use that to dropdown a list of all the various consoles, and pick the appropriate one.
