Having the output of a console application in Visual Studio instead of the console

Question

When doing a console application in Java with Eclipse, I see the output being put in a text box in the IDE itself, instead of having a console popping up like in Visual Stud

Answer 1

Use System.Diagnostics.Trace

Depending on what listeners you attach, trace output can go to the debug window, the console, a file, database, or all at once. The possibilities are literally endless, as implementing your own TraceListener is extremely simple.
