A:
Just look for your console view and in the right top click on the 'Open Console' button and select 'New console view'

I want all instances in tabs format. I dont want to click on 'Open Selected Console' everytime i need to switch to a different console.

ok I see what you mean now. You have to turn off the 'Show Console When Stardard Out Changes' and the error one too. Do this in all the views. Now the views will stay in the the console you selected.

A:
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.

But i will have to do it every time? Isnt there any permanent solution like in netbeans?

A:
If you write out your console information to multiple logs, then you can use a utility called Baretail which is highly configurable and easy to use. It allows you to view a growing file, i.e. logs for example, in realtime. Its easy to use and highly configurable - might be of some help to you.
