Eclipse Console not showing output

Question

I have written a simple class having an SOP statement for "Hello World". But the Eclipse console is not showing output. I then wrote the same program in a previously created project and it worked fine. I am opening the Console as given below:

Window->Show View->Console.

But it is not working. I am using j2ee project in the same workspace. Any idea? Please help. I am stuck because of this problem.

Solution 1

Go to "Window > Reset Perspective", that will reset the window settings to default. Next, you might need to stop any running Java processes. I suggest you then click "Remove all Terminated Launches" and if the red "Terminate All" is still available click that as well

Solution 2

[working] I encountered the same problem, I tried with all the solutions provided above but it didn't work then I came to a solution which worked. Follow the following process to overcome the problem.

Right click on workspace provided by Eclipse --> Select "Run As" --> Java Application.

This will work definitely.

Solution 3

Make sure that your System.out.println("Hello World") is in main method with proper signature.

Ex:

public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Hello World");
}

Solution 4

Make sure that the project structure should be as follows:

Solution 5

I've lost the console only in the Java default perspective and I wasn't able to show it again by using window > show view > console.

What I did is the following :

1. window > Perspective > reset perspective
2. window > show view > console

and It appears now!!

share screenshot of your problem that you are facing. How some can know what issue you having if they don't see it.

Check that the right main is executed. And that there is no redirection (System.setOut...)).

Closing the Console tab and reopening it with Window->Show View->Console might also help.
