Java System.out.print();, behaves different on Eclipse than on Eclim

Question

Im trying to learn some Java, I am using Eclim and after following a tutorial I found that this does not work on Eclim + vim:

class variables{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        double number;
        number = 12.34;
        System.out.print(number);
    }
}

But when I do the same on Eclipse, it does work. The only way I can make it work on Eclim is by using

println

instead of

print

Any ideas on why this would happen??

edit:

Tried this:

class variables{
  public static void main(String args[]){
    double number;
    number = 12.34;
    System.out.flush();
    System.out.print(number);
  }
}

and still nothing. Again, it works on Eclipse, but not on Eclim

use .flush() after .print() because system.out is buffered stream... you'll have to flush the output before you use it.

In .println(), the output gets flushed automatically

@Monansh not only that but I gave the answer. Looks like OP didn't read the part when I say that you have to flush "_after_ you print, obviously"... – fge Jun 18 '13 at 06:15
@Monansh "flush AFTER print" not the other way as you wrote... – mschenk74 Jun 18 '13 at 07:05
sorry.. i have corrected it.. – Vaishali Jun 18 '13 at 08:14
@Monansh now I changed my downvote to an upvote (the downvote was not meant as an offense but only to mark the answer as wrong as long as it was not corrected) – mschenk74 Jun 18 '13 at 10:09

It is almost certain that it is indeed working, but you are confusing the output with your prompt, as lack of a newline is making the prompt that waits for your next command be in the same line as your printed result.
