By default Eclipse IDE has limit on console output, also known as console
buffer size. Which means, your Eclipse console will overfill quickly, if you
are running a Java server program, which usually do lot of logging.
Once this happen, you start losing logs. whenever new logs appear, equal number
of oldest logs are truncated. Thankfully there is a way to increase output
capacity in Eclipse IDE. I discovered this tip, on my search of Eclipse
productivity tips e.g. Eclipse
shortcuts and settings
to organize import. You can increase console buffer size, which is
specified in characters by using Eclipse preferences. Eclipse Indigo has
default console buffer size as 250000 characters. Eclipse also provides a check
box Limit Console Output to put
enforce limit on console
output, In order to increase console output either you can unchecked this box
or you can increase console buffer size. I usually unchecked, Limit Console
Output to avoid guessing a good number for console buffer size.
Steps to Increase Console Buffer Size in Eclipse
In order to
increase console output capacity, follow these steps :
1) Click Preferences
2) Select Run/Debug
3) Either unchecked Limit console output or increase console buffer size.
By the way, you can also increase width
of Eclipse console in this screen. Default width of Eclipse console is 80
characters. Similar to above, you have two options here, either don't use fixed
width console or increase maximum character width. I personally don't use fixed
width console by un-checking the tick box. Here is the snapshot from Eclipse IDE, which shows where this options are located :
You can clearly say options, rounded with red rectangle, first one is for changing width of console and second one is for increasing output capacity of Eclipse console.
That's all on How to increase console output in Eclipse. As I said, it's
better not to limit console output, but if you do, make sure to choose a size
large enough for your purpose.
This was another nice Eclipse setting, which helps a lot while running
Java application from Eclipse IDE. Eclipse productivity tips helps, to improve
