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

It's time to check the latest release/s for Visual Studio, folks. The most suggested solution that did not work for some of you before might work now.

In Visual Studio 2017 (Release Version 15.4.2 and above), going to Tools > Options > Debugging > General > (Check Box) Redirect all Output Window text to Immediate Window has worked for me.

Few Notes: 1. To see the Immediate Window, make sure that you are in Debugging mode. 2. There should now be 3 other debugging tools available at your disposal, namely, Call Stack, Breakpoints, and Command Window, as shown below:
