Remove Logcat from Java Perspective

Question

How can I remove the logcat window from the Java perspective permanently? Every time I get an error (that I'm expecting) it pops up the logcat window (even if i close it/remove it from the perspective) and shows the output. I only want this showing in the debug perspective. It's very annoying and makes iterative testing difficult when trying to fix known issues. I really don't need eclipse changing my focus to an error I've already seen a few dozen times.

I've tried going to "customize perspective" but I can only see options to add it, and even though it's not checked (and presumably not added) it still pops up.

+1 for asking the same question I was about to ask. – Bill The Ape Jan 13 '12 at 00:24 — Bill The Ape, Jan 13 '12 at 00:24

Turn it off in Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Logcat -> Display logcat view when there are messages from an application in the workspace.

The option `Display logcat view when there are messages from an application in the workspace` doesn't seem to exist..... – Pacerier Nov 18 '14 at 07:01

You can prevent Eclipse from automatically opening views like that based on which perspective you're in via your preferences, check the settings seen in the image below:

I have unchecked Monitor logcat for messages from applications in workspace instead of Display logcat view when there are messages from an application in the workspace

SDK version: 20.

This doesn't work because the messages don't appear **at all**. – Pacerier Nov 18 '14 at 07:01
