Clearing the Console in Java Eclipse

In Java Eclipse, you can clear the console using the following steps:

  1. Open your Java Eclipse IDE.
  2. Navigate to the “Console” view. You can find it by clicking on “Window” in the top menu, then selecting “Show View” and “Console”.
  3. By default, the console displays various tabs like “Console”, “Debug”, “Server”, etc. Select the “Console” tab.
  4. To clear the console, you can either:
    • Right-click inside the console and select “Clear” from the context menu.
    • Use the shortcut key combination Ctrl + L on your keyboard.
    • Alternatively, you can also click on the small “Clear Console” icon located at the top-right corner of the console view.

Here’s an example:

public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}

In the above example, if you run the program multiple times, the console may get cluttered with previous output. By clearing the console, you can have a clean workspace to view the output of your latest execution.
