In eclipse how do you adjust the maximum lines in the console window? My program outputs 2000 lines of numbers and eclipse truncates it so therefore I am missing some numbers

It says here:

http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/reference/preferences/run-debug/ref-console.htm

that it's under run/debug > console, but I don't see that option anywhere

+1  A: 

Right click on the console > Preferences > Console buffer size

If you don't want any limit, uncheck the "Limit console output" checkbox.

Mine is currently set to 800000, which is enough.

That said, I would strongly recommend setting a high limit rather than no limit at all. If you forget to clean your console, you can run Eclipse out of heap space, IIRC.

A: 

In Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > Console there's a checkbox "Limit console output" and a textfield for entering the buffer size of the console.

Have never changed those settings myself but sounds like this could be what you are looking for. I am using Eclipse 3.3.2.
