It often happens to me that I want to clear the current output window by using the context menu, but instead of hitting the Clear entry, I accidently hit the Close entry (which is directly below Clear).
How can I get that output window back!?
Via Window/Output/Output I only get the container tab for all output windows. How can I reopen the output window of a currently running application?
Here is solution
First go to service window which is next tab to project tab...
then right click on apache tomcat
click view server log and view server output
In the right bottom edge there are information about NetBeans updates. Left to it, there's the tasks running (building, running application etc). Click on it, right click the process you want and select Show Output.
try Window--> Reset Windows in netbean
Caution: be aware, that all your windows settings are away after that!
I had this same issue recently and none of the other fixes worked. I got it to show finally by switching to the "Services" tab, right-clicking on "Apache Tomcat or TomEE" and clicking "Restart".
Go to the window tab: Then click on Output. This will allow you to place it anywhere on the screen. Or just use ctrl+4
Go to Server tab and Right Click you will see the View Output Log.
Netbeans --> Your Server --> RightClick --> View Output
In NetBeans 7.4,
Under Window menu, click on "Reset Window".
Then NetBeans will disappear and reappear.
At last, after it reappears, click on "Output" under Window menu.
Go to window tab - reset windows - run your program. - then right click on bottom of the tab where program running
Right click on Apache Tomcat under Services window. Stop the server, then start it again...both log and output window will reappear
Just go through "View" and select IDE Log. it will show the output.
If you run the server in normal mode you can recover the log by restarting the main project in debug mode. It seems that NB opens a new server log when the server run mode changes.
If you want to see three windows along with Log
Then go to windows on NetBeans then output and click NetBeans->windows->output.
Next go to service next to you project select server right click on it select server log and server output NetBeans->service(next to you project)->server->View server log and view service output.
I was having the same problem. Currently I am using the version 8.1, First of all go to the window tab, that is just before the tab help. Click on window and there click reset "Reset Window", after that in the bottom right click on the tab where your project runs, right click and select show output.
shorter way:
1-Alt + Shift + R
2-Ctrl + 4
second way:(in menus of netBeans)
1-go to window tab
2-go to IDE tools
3-click on Test Result
4-again in window tab click on Output
I found output option in window Menu.
in Netbeans 7.4 try Window -> Output OR Ctrl + 4
Easy way, just write some wrong code and Run > Build it will show the error in output window.
I tried all of the above but no success, just this one worked.
Servers---AT---right click---start in debugging mode
I'm working on some applications that, in debug mode, log to the console. I'd like to run and debug them from inside of Eclipse, and view the console for each one simultaneously. However, I have a single Console tab that shows a single Console output at a time. Is there a way I can split the consoles into multiple views so that I can have side-by-side console output?
Yes,
located near your console tab should be a button "Open Console".
If you click this button one of your options should be "New Console View".
You'll now have 2 console views.
One of your other buttons near your console tab is "Display Selected Console". When you choose this option you can select from any of your running applications.
Just select the tab, select which application you want it to watch, and repeat for the other tab.
You can then move your 2 console views to wherever you want independently of each other.
I'm using Eclipse Helios Release with build ID: 20100617-1415.
The best thing you can do is the following.
Window > New Window.
That will create another eclipse window like you currently have. Run the desired application, switch the console on the new window to display the desired console output with open console button on the console view.
A bit clunky but the only way to get multiple consoles at the same time. If your new windows doesn't have console open use
Window > Show View > Console
Goodluck
The post of Chase Henslee it's correct after click on 1, you must deactivate the second behavior with second step and at finish you can change the console with 3 step.
My console window is not longer baked into Eclipse. It appears as a seperate window which hovers over my any open project file windows. I don't know what I did to cause this. I've tried re-starting Eclispe, opening and closing the console view.
Screenshot attached
Found solution, right click on console window and un check "Detached" option.
When eclipse starts up, it first show its splash screen and then pops up a dialog for selecting the desired workspace to open. If at this point I switch to a different virtual desktop and then come back later, only the splash screen is visible but the dialog is gone and I haven't found a way to get it back. I have to kill the eclipse process and start again.
Is there a way to recover from that problem whithout killing eclipse?
My setup:
Windows XP
VirtualWin 4.0.1
Eclipse Helios
I'm not sure why it prompts you the first time Eclipse starts up but not after using a different virtual desktop. I assume you did not select "Use this as the default and do not ask again" on the "select workspace" dialog. If you don't mind waiting a bit, you can avoid killing Eclipse by loading the current workspace and then going to File > Switch Workspace.
Start Eclipse.
Invoke Window menu on Workspace Launcher window. For example by clicking the middle mouse button on the window title bar, see Setup Dialog's Enable middle button window menu activation setting in VirtuaWin Help.
Click Add Window Rule.
Leave class name there e.g.: #32770.
Erase Window name and Process name.
Select Always manage windows of this type.
Click Add button.
Whenever I hit Debug or Run in Eclipse, I get a dialog asking me what configuration I want to use.
How do I set a default configuration and bind a keyboard shortcut?
Maybe this article from Eclipse One Tips will help you:
How to run the last launched application
The answer lies in a preference hidden on the Run/Debug page:
Go to Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > Launching.
Select the option Always launch the previously launched application. It’s located at the bottom of the dialog.
The preference should look something like this:
Now you’re free to press
F11, Ctrl+F11 or click the Run/Debug
icons on the toolbar with confidence, knowing it’s going to run what
you expect it to run.
One question arises: How do you quickly run a class as a specific
application (eg. a JUnit test) if you can’t press F11 to
run it? You have some options available:
The fastest way is to use keyboard shortcuts. Eclipse allows you to launch classes using a keystroke, including JUnit tests, Java
applications, etc using Alt+Shift+X.
Alternatively, right-click on the class and select Run As. The submenu will show available options for launching the class.
Lastly, you could click the pulldown arrow on the run/debug icons in the toolbar and select Run As. The submenu once again shows
available options for launching the class.
Eclipse plug-ins that add new project types may contribute 'Launch Configurations' to control how Eclipse executes the application. For example, J2EE based projects need to publish content and start the application server. Contrast this with simply starting a JVM for a regular Java application.
When you select a configuration, Eclipse records this for future use. You can access these by selecting the 'Run/Run Configurations' menu item or selecting 'Run Configurations' from the little drop down menu next to the run and debug toolbar buttons. You can also add new launch configurations through the Run/Debug Configurations dialog that opens. In this dialog, you should see one or more configurations that you previously launched. Selecting one reveals all the info Eclipse uses to launch your application. One tab called 'Common' contains options for controlling the your favorites menu. Checking the box next to Run or Debug will add this launch configuration to the top of its corresponding menu.
If you only have a single configuration in your menu then Eclipse will launch it when you click the associated button. If you have more than one then Eclipse launches (sometimes) the most recently used. I say sometimes because, occasionally, one launch configuration causes another to launch, which cause the last used configuration to be the second one when you would expect it to be the first one. Usually this happens to me when I launch an application, which needs to be built and the build launches a tool. When this happens, just select the correct launch configuration from the drop down menu.
You can bind a keystroke combination to the Run and Debug commands through the 'Windows/Preferences' menu item. Then select 'General/Keys' in the tree control on the left.
