I'm using Eclipse Indigo on Win XP with Java 6. I have a Maven project with GWT (2.3), and when I launch my project (Run -> Web Application), the app is throwing some startup errors. However, the console is only preserving the last part of the errors, and I can't tell what started it all off.

Notice in the screen shot, I've scrolled up as much as possible but still the stack trace is cut off. How can I get Eclipse to save the entire console error log?

Thanks, - Dave

  • What happens if you toggle the scroll lock, I believe it would then preserve the error log. – Scorpion Oct 17 '11 at 16:11

You can adjust Eclipse's console buffer size in the preferences. See http://codeyarns.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/eclipse-console-buffer-size/:

  • We want to "keep" i.e. save it to a file, not just extend its buffer size. (Preferably for me, I'd like console output for Build All to be saved automatically.) – skittlebiz May 31 '22 at 19:26
