How do you stop Console from popping up automatically in Eclipse

Question

I have a web application running in Eclipse with Tomcat. It has a few errors that make the console popup every few seconds. How do I stop it from automatically popping up

Answer 1

This can also be done in Preferences

Windows > Preferences > Run/Debug > Console

uncheck "Show when program writes to standard out" and/or "Show when program writes to standard error".

Answer 2

There are two icons - "Show Console When X changes" in the console view. Unselect those.

Answer 3

There are two buttons on the console toolbar at the bottom that allow you to take focus (or not)...one for stdout, one for stderr. I have an image with the buttons circled.
