How do you pull up the java console in OpenSUSE or Ubuntu?

Question

I'm working on a java applet, and I was wondering where the heck System.out was going in Ubuntu/OpenSUSE. In windows, I just pull up jconsole, but I've not found this in Ubuntu/OpenSUSE.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Run the command jcontrol. On the Advanced tab expand Java console and select Show console. Restart Firefox and the console should open the next time you open a Java applet in the browser.

Answer 2

Also, you can run firefox from the terminal to see jconsole output. Jconsole output goes to firefox's standard out.
