Eclipse 4. 2 Java Console Change Background Color

Question

I have been trying to change my Java console color but the run/debug preferences I have set does not seem to work. I have installed the "Eclipse Color Themes" and "Eclipse Chrome" plugins and they work great.

Solution 1

I tried changing that setting on an older version and it worked.

Perhaps a plugin is causing this issue. You could remove them one by one until it works again.

Or perhaps it's a bug with 4.2. Try a previous version.

Or check the bug repository: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/

Solution 2

Changes for me didn't actually take place until I ran a program, then the background color updated.
