How can I make Eclipse output std:out to a standard windows console

Asked 2008-11-05T00:06:34.140

As eclipse users know, eclipse captures the output of std out and err by default and dumps it into the console that is integrated with the IDE.

I would like eclipse to just use a standard windows cmd instance to display std:out and std:err by default, the way most other IDE's do. Does anybody know how to set this up?

Well, you could probably extend/replace the existing Console view and add an option to write to stdout/stderr.

If you're talking about a Java-program and you want it to open a new console window for stdout/stderr, you will probably have to modify the JDT launcher.

Why would you want to do that? I find it much more convenient to have stdout/stderr in the Eclipse console.
