If I
System.out.print("something\r");
at console, I have cursor back at the beginning of line, and finally after
System.out.print("something\r");
System.out.print(" any\r");
I have
anything
typed.
But at Eclipse console I get
something
anything
as if it treated \r as CR/LF.
How can I setup this?

It can be changed by going to Windows --> Preferences --> Run/Debug --> Console and then unchecking "Limit Console Output" which is ON by default. This works on STS any version too. This would help printing complete console output. For a Mac it is Eclipse > Preferences > Run/Debug > Console.
A line feed means moving one line forward. The code is \n . A carriage return means moving the cursor to the beginning of the line.
Just open the Window(in eclipse IDE) -> click on Reset Perspective. It worked for me.
As Nishant already pointed out in the comments, you've found a bug here.
This bug initially was reported in 2004 (>9 years ago!?!!) and this bug seems not to be fixed very soon (or ever). I tested it on several Eclipse version, even on Eclipse Juno SR2, and the bug is still there.

The bug is fixed by now (Eclipse 2020-03). Just go to
Window ➺ Preferences ➺ Run/Debug ➺ Console
and make sure that both checkboxes
Interpret ASCII control characters
and
Interpret Carriage Return (\r) as control character
are enabled.
