How to Make the Eclipse Console Output Buffer Bigger
The Eclipse Integrated Development Environment is a free, open source piece of software that allows you to develop programs in many different languages. The Eclipse IDE has a built-in console window that displays useful information such as program output, compilation warnings and compilation errors. The console displays a limited amount of information set by the size of the output buffer. If you need the console to display more information, you can increase the size of the console output buffer.
