Eclipse open console apps in separate window.

Question

Is there a way to configure eclipse to open console apps in a new window rather than it's own console when you run/debug them?

I'm debugging a client/server application and I'd like to see the output of both apps at once and not have to switch between the tabs...

Answer 1

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.

If you right click on the console tab and click on 'detached' the console will be detached from the eclipse frame.

You can select which output you want to see on each console by clicking the 'display selected console' button (second button from the right on the console view)
