I'm in the process of moving from JCreator to Eclipse.
When I hit build the button the output is shown at the bottm of the page, but I want my output to be shown in another window (typically black and white on JCreator).
Can anyone identify what the name of this window is and how to obtain this for eclipse?
I swear this answer should be on stack overflow, but I'm afraid my novice vocabulary is keeping me from finding the answer.
You can drag the console anywhere you want. If you move it outside the Eclipse window, it is completely detached.

I have a problem in Java Eclipse in that when I type a long sentence it goes beyond the border of my PC screen, so that I have to scroll to the right to be able to read a long sentence. I would like the text to stay within the screen, or within specific parameters, so that I don't have to scroll. Is there a way to do this?
I tried Googling a solution but can't find a way to get text to stay within screen limits :(
I found a button on the Toolbar.
In Eclipse ide 2019-03:
Toggle Word Wrap: Alt+Shift+Y
Depending on which version of Eclipse you use, there may be a way to enable Word Wrap.
In the question How do you enable word-wrap by default in Eclipse? Emmanuel Guiton explains that there is a setting which can be added manually to a preference file. Mickael states that Eclipse Neon uses the aforementioned shortcut.
Edit: Changed "Eclipse Oxygen ide 2019-03" to "Eclipse ide 2019-03"
I've had this error before in pydev perspectives in the past, and the only solution I've ever managed was to remove the broken perspective and start a new one.
The problem is this:
Normally the different panes of the workspace can be minimized, maximized, and regular size. Right now, I cannot get the "shared area" code section of the debug perspective to show up at all. I can peak at it while it's minimized, but that's all I can manage.
What's more, eclipse automatically switches to debug, so it's basically impossible for me to debug code right now.
I'd really like to know why this is happening to me, and how to avoid and/or fix it.
Also, I'm currently running java 7, I have not updated yet.
You can go to Window, Reset Perspective which will give you your shared area back, although also obviously reset any other views you may have.
In IntelliJ every time I make a change in code and I run the app afterwards, "run window" is automatically popped up. Is there any way to disable this annoying behaviour or how to make it less distracting?
I finally could solve this one. At least it worked for me. At the bottom of "Run/Debug configurations" window and in "Before launch" part, uncheck "Activate tool window" check box.
There is currently no solution to do this permanently. However, there is a workaround to prevent it from popping up. Try this:
After the first time the window pops-up simply resize it all the way to the bottom (i.e. grab the TOP and drag down until the window disappears). This will prevent it from popping up again until you manually click one of the buttons to open any window in the same area (i.e. Run, TODO, Android, Terminal, Messages, (and Find Results) - or whatever you have in that same area if you've customized it).
To keep it from popping up, never click the hide button on any of these windows but rather use the same "drag from top to bottom" to hide them (the effect is the same).
This is annoying, to say the least, but once you get used to it it works fine and is much less annoying than dealing with that blasted Run popup window :)
NOTE
I should mention that this is completely safe to do as the windows are only hidden when you do this, and clicking the window's button at the bottom will show it in its original size - so nothing goes missing or breaks using this method :-)
These are called Tool Windows. Right-click the tool window, it pops up a menu, the last option of which is 'Hide'.
Alternatively,
You can install the plugin ToolWindow Manager to show/hide the Tool Window of your choice.
Either
1. Set the run window to be in either split and then shrink it down to be as small as possible.
2. Set the windows to be in floating mode and then shrink it down and move it somewhere less distracting.
disabling checkboxes in "Window | Background tasks solved my problem.
It is soooo annoying oO I just dragged the windows to an other screen and/or set their height to a minimum.. Not "best practise" but it is better than nothing -.-
In intellij go to main menu windows->active tool window->disable floating mode option there.
thanks
For those who are facing this issue with "Run" window they can follow below instruction
From dropdown select "Edit Configuration":
Open Logs tab:
Uncheck these 2 checkboxes:
I have found a solution!!!!
There old plugin for Intellij IDE called "Hide Tool Window Ex".
It hides any tool windows that being opened just after you click in editor again.
(plugin page)
visual example
I know that Eclipse have a function that allow us to see the steps of execution of a program.
Can anyone tell me how can I find it? I really need it to study and understand some pices of code.
Look for the little green bug at the top.
If you run it by pressing this icon, your application will run in a new perspective and stop at your breakpoints.
Enter breakpoints by clicking the area where you see the blue dot in this picture.
Navigate inside of the debugger with:
Green arrow is for running till next breakpoint.
Red square is for terminating the process.
The 90degree arrow goes into methods you invoke showing each step IN the method. The last arrow executes them without showing the steps.
If you're done with debugging you can switch perspective here.(upper right corner)
Executing your java program step by step you need to follow a few steps:
Set a breakpoint by double-clicking left of the very first line of your program, which seems to be something like public static void main(String[] args).
The breakpoint looks like this ->
Open your program in the view. (in the standard layout this could be found in the top right corner of your eclipse ide)
Start running your program in debug mode (in the standard layout this could be found in the toolbar at the top of your eclipse ide)
Now you can easily navigate through your program by using the F5-F7 buttons or clicking these icons in the top toolbar

In my old IDE, if I'd run a Java file and the console requested input, it would jump my text cursor to it so I could type without moving my mouse. Eclipse doesn't seem to do this. Can I make it?
Also, how do you hide the toolbar? I prefer keyboard shortcuts so it's just cluttering up my view.
To hide the toolbar, you can go here: http://code.google.com/p/eclipse-hide-toolbar/
for a plugin which hides the toolbar every time you start eclipse.
I don't think there is a way to have your cursor jump to the input like you described but it's a minor issue when you consider that an average user clicks and moves the mouse thousands of times a day, never mind an active programmer.
But I might be wrong.
