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.

In eclipse the console is somehow undocked. Now it's appearing like below :
How to attach it to the window? I tried the "pin console" button but nothing happening. I am running eclipse kepler.
Please help.
It is just a drag of the pop up window to the main window. Key is to drag by tab title not by main window. In your case, start dragging at tab titled console!
You can click Windows > Reset perspective to go back to default perspective settings.
The easiest method that worked for me in Eclipse Photon is:
Click on the Open Console icon present amongst the icons on the console window.
Open Console icon:
Click on New Console View
New Console View:
This will start a docked version of the current console.
And the one which is detached can be simply closed thereafter.
Go to WINDOW, then select these submenus:
SHOW VIEW
CONSOLE
As in this screenprint:
that's it
Window->Perspective->Reset Perspective
Grab on Git Staging icon, drag and drop on console bar:
From opened Eclipse; go to Window>Perspective>Reset Perspective
Back to Window>Show View
Click on Console.
I found this convenient.
You can click on Windows > Reset perspective. It will reset perspective settings
Hi I used the Eclipse for creating a project. I don't know what I did that make my code didn't show on the debug windows. How to solve this problem?
It is because the console log window is on top of the editor. Resize it to be shorter.
You could also just reset your perspective to the default layout. Use Window > Reset Perspective... menu item.
I just got Eclipse Kepler a couple of days ago - pretty nice! Unfortunately the Debug view gets focused while encountering a break point in full screen mode. Afterwards I need to click somewhere to make it disappear.
I made a screen shot:
Can this be customized? I wasn't able to find anything in the preferences. I also had the same issue with the Console view but these two nice buttons made it work.
Thank you!
Yes, you can disable using a setting, from eclipse Window-> Preferences -> Run/Debug -> uncheck Activate the debug view when a breakpoint is hit.
I am using Eclipse Juno. I was working in Java perspective and suddenly I minimized the console. I don't know where it went but I am unable to get it back. I even tried to get it from Windows>Show View>Console but I didn't get my console back.
It happened the same thing to me. Just click Window->Reset Perspective and everything will be back as it was when you installed eclipse.
Sure you'll have to customize it back to how you like it, but at least you'll have the console back.
If console is not visible, just search for "Console" in QuickAccess box on the right hand top of menu bar. you can get it back!
Stupid Eclipse. Are there no interface designers volunteering on this project? Why minimize something and make it hard to see where to bring it back? Probably all you have to do is hit Shift-Control-Tab-F9 with one hand while right-double-clicking the lower left hand corner. Hmm, how about a popup when you click a minimized Console that says "We see you've minimized your Console and you are clearly trying to switch to it. Would you like us to restore that so you can actually see it?" followed by "Are you really sure? Cuz ya know, you may be using this click path by accident."
The reset perspective works. Also, you can "Save Perspective" so it's not so hard to go back to your preferred Perspective.
Thanks for the tip.
Bring console to the front from Window -> Show View -> Console. Apparently the console remains invisible (that was the issue indeed), but it is virtually active in the foreground.
Close the current view (i.e. the invisible console) by going to the "Quick Access" box at the toolbar, typing "Close Part", and selecting the respective option on the drop-down.
Reopen console form Window -> Show View -> Console and voilà, it will appear. Drag it to your preferred location on the workbench.
This works for me under the following situation:
I had been previously playing with detaching several views (console included) and editors to a separate window on a different monitor; I have updated my workspace from Neon to Oxygen and I have had a hard reset at my computer. (So, not sure which among those was the reason that made it go wrong).
I wanted to avoid resetting my perspective, as it is highly customised, so I discarded that solution.
Other solutions herein proposed had not worked.
The console was working and the view became visible if I chose a different perspective (e.g. Debug) or a duplicate Eclipse window (which effectively provides a duplicate of a factory-reset perspective).
you could click the small icon on the bottom left and choose console. it will appear.
I have eclipse Juno. I'm not sure how, but my editor in eclipse is now "invisible". By invisible i mean, the editor pane is not in the visible window. I'm not a novice in eclipse and i know you can minimize the editors or maximize a different panel - but this isn't the case. There isn't even a minimize/maximize button on this empty space where the editor should be.
However, the title bar shows the current file that is opened (but in the invisible editor and hence invisible). and my outline sidebar shows the file's outline.
I think this might have happened when splitting editor panes (which i do a lot, love the side by side comparison), and also switching the perspective.
Any ideas on how i can get the editor back in the visible window?
Above is a screenshot of how it looks. At the time of the screen shot i had just recently clicked a file to open it, and it seems to have opened in the invisible editor.
I've tried all given solutions and none of them solved the problem.
Only using Window->New Window gave me a new fixed eclipse window.
Try Window > Reset Perspective to get things back to normal.
I minimized sharedArea and after restore it was empty. Editors worked well (open, close, save etc.) but i could not see them. Closing all perspectives helped.
This happens to me sometimes when I try to split an editor group by dragging an editor tab. The only solution that worked for me was to close every single perspective in the application toolbar, then Window -> New Window.
I've had this happen occasionally when splitting panes. Restarting Eclipse didn't work for me, nor did resetting the perspective.
The solution I stumbled upon was to give the editor area focus (by clicking in the area where it should be, I suppose) and close files in the invisible editor with Ctrl+W until the editor reappears. You may notice the window title changes to follow the file in the hidden editor.
I had the same problem and simply stopping/restarting Eclipse fixed it.
I have the fix, when neither resetting the perspective or restarting eclipse helps:
At the bottom of the File Menu, there is your recent file name that you are trying to get back. Click on that and it should return.
Start eclipse with:
eclipse.exe -repair
