When I minimize the Console view, it disappears, and I cannot show it again using the Windows > Show View > Console menu.

How do I make this view visible without reinstalling Eclipse?

I had the same problem too. Impossible to restore the console after minimizing it in Juno, and it wasn't appearing in the toolbar.

In the "Window" menu there is a "Reset perspective" link. It will restore Eclipse perspective to the one you had after a fresh install.

If the console is still not showing up after this operation THEN click on "Window" > "Show view" > "Console".

I ran into the same problem, only I was having it with other views in addition to the console. I was resetting my perspective continually. I found that uninstalling the Astyle plugin resolved the issue for me.

If you minimize viewparts in Eclipse, then they don't become completely invisible. The icons of the minimized views are still shown on a toolbar, that may sit on any side of the big Eclipse window. That toolbar has a button labeled "Restore", which is what you want.

  • I found that this caused my individual editor windows to "disappear", and I had to "reset perspective" again. Thanks for the tip, though, I had not noticed the "Restore" button on the toolbar. – noogrub May 16 '13 at 17:29

How about adding an eclipse short cut for the console ? That way you just to use/press the key combination for getting the console.

Just go to Windows menu and click on Reset perspectives. It fixes the problem.
