Console window

The Console is the standard input and output device for Java programs in the IDE.   All running programs are shown in the All Programs pane. If a thread has standard output, it outputs it to the Output pane.  If several threads are running concurrently, they all output to the same pane, which may result in overlapping output.

When a running program requires standard input:

  1. Select the program in the All Programs pane.
  2. Type the input in the Standard Input pane.
  3. Click the Submit button nisubmit.gif (1029 bytes).
