<h1 role="main">Console view</h1>
<p>The <img src="../images/command_link.png" alt="" > <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.views.showView(org.eclipse.ui.views.showView.viewId=org.eclipse.ui.console.ConsoleView)")'>Console</a> view displays the output of a process and allows you to provide keyboard input to a process. There are numerous consoles available, see the Open Console dropdown list for those available to you. </p>
<p><img src="../images/view_console.png" alt="Console View"></p>
The output console shows several different kinds of text, each in a different color:
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>Standard output</li>
<li>Standard error</li>
<li>Standard input</li>
</ul>
<p>Build console provides also highlighting of build problems. You can use double-click on a highlighted line
to open code in an editor when error parsers are able to determine file and line from build output.
</p>
<p>You can choose the different colors for these kinds of text on the <a href="cdt_u_console_pref.htm">Console</a> preferences panel.
</p>
