When using Eclipse IDE, anytime the the server (tomcat in my case) changes status (start, starting, stopping, stopped, etc...), the Servers tab becomes active. This is annoying because then I can't see Console.

By default, I think Console has "Show Console when std out/err changes" which results in a minor skirmish between the two tabs. I don't like having this option either. I simply want the tab I chose to stay active, none of the auto business.

Is there any way to stop Servers tab from grabbing focus/active?

Thanks.

Edit

I should mention that my Console and Servers tab live in the same grouping of tabs.

A: 

To prevent this change click (this should be pushed in) on the:

"Show console when standard output changes"

and

"Show console when standard errors changes"

Then console will do not appear.

But what I advise is to use the simple short cuts for navigation.

Press F12 to return to Editor. 

Press Alt+Shift+Q, P  - to return to the package editor 
Press Alt+Shift+Q, O  - to outline
Press Alt+Shift+Q, S  - to search
Press Alt+Shift+Q, C  - to console
Press Alt+Shift+Q, Q  - to show all views and choose correct 

Press Ctrl+F7 - display a list of opened views
Press Ctrl+F8 - select perspective

I've already done this, but servers tab still grabs focus away.

A: 

I don't think, that is possible (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I usually grab the server tab and pull it into its own region (for example below the outline), where I can minimize it so it doesn't hurt.

This is what I suspected, that it was not possible. I can't imagine why it is like that though.
