From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: When building classpath, which uses custom builders, the console seems to be cleared randomly. This makes it difficult to debug builds. Ideally a new console would be created for each *set* of custom builders run and each new console would never be cleared. When building autotooled projects, it is important to have context for the entire build. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: How it should work: 1. Check out Classpath 2. Project -> Build Project 3. (eclipse creates Console2 tab) 4. Console2 logs "ClasspathAutogen", "ClasspathBuildNative", "ClasspathCreateLocaleData" builders output, and never clears itself Additional info:
This should be filed upstream.
Mirrored upstream.
From the upstream bug: "By default consoles associated with terminated processes are removed when another process is launched. This can be controlled by a preference. See Preferences-Run/Debug/Remove terminated launches when a new launch is created."
