Eclipse: Open Multiple Console Views at Once

**Problem: **I have multiple programs running in Eclipse at once and want to be able to see the console outputs of each one at the same time.  How do I open multiple console windows so that I can see the output of each of these programs?

**Solution: **Assuming you already have the default Console View open in your window, you can create a new console by:

If you don’t have a Console View open, just go to Window -> Show View -> Console which should open a new view for you.

• Select the Console View
• On the top right of the Console View, there should be a button called “Open Console“.  Click it and choose which type of console you want to open – Java Stack Trace Console, Maven Console, or New Console View.  I usually go with the Java Stack Trace Console, but choose whatever suits your needs best.
• You should now have another Console View to look at.
