I am using Eclipse Version: Helios Release for a Java application. I need to run multiple instances of same application and want easy visibility of multiple consoles.
Can it be done? If yes, how?
In eclipse, you can have two console views... On the console view, you have a button called 'open console' (the most right button in the console view). If you click this and select option 3 (new console view), you will see two consoles.
You can use the "pin console" button to ensure it stays on top. Other than that, I thought the two checkboxes "show when program writes...." were supposed to handle that. @ylun.za It's not an option, it's a window, like the Package Explorer and so on. Window>Show View>Console.
Run the application twice (say instance A and B). Console will display message from B. Then create two consoles as rsilva pointed (say 1 and 2). Both consoles will show message from B. After that change console 1 to display message from A by selecting the arrow near icon with monitor and select the instance A. The message from instance A will be displayed on console 1.
You can of course drag (or detached) one console to other place for better visibility.
Just look for your console view and in the right top click on the 'Open Console' button and select 'New console view'
