Using eclipse PDE, I'm running into this very strange error. I start up my plugin by right clicking on the project, Run As -> Eclipse Application.

The target eclipse seems to start up just fine, and in my development eclipse, a console view shows up but it's empty. I can't see any System.out.println's or any exception stacktraces or any of the usual stuff in there.

Answer to my problem below.

    If you enable the option `Preferences > Scala > Logging > Output log in terminal` in the client IDE does it work then? – kiritsuku Sep 20 '15 at 09:55
  • Thanks, this worked for me (of course this option needs to be enabled in target eclipse instance). So, do not clear workspace in Launch config. – Henrik Steudel Dec 01 '16 at 16:11

It turns out, a different feature I have installed in my eclipse, Scala IDE, is the culprit. For some reason, when it's active, it causes my console to be blank.

To disable it in the target eclipse:

  • right click on the project
  • Run As -> Run Configurations
  • Select the Eclipse Application configuration you've been using.
  • Go to the Plugins tab
  • Uncheck everything in sight with "Scala" in it.

Console came back after doing this!
