Console functionality was removed from Equinox system bundle. Now it should be installed explicitly (felix gogo console).
Download Equinox SDK and copy such files to your equinox plugin folder:
org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.8.0.v201108120515.jar org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.8.0.v201108120515.jar org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.8.0.v201110170705.jar org.eclipse.equinox.console_1.0.0.v20111215-1210.jar
update your config.ini in configuration folder and add such substring to property osgi.bundles
reference:file:org.eclipse.equinox.console_1.0.0.v20111215-1210.jar@4,reference:file:org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.8.0.v201110170705.jar@4,reference:file:org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.8.0.v201108120515.jar@4,reference:file:org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.8.0.v201108120515.jar@4,

This link provides all the details regarding the new console which is based on Apache Felix Gogo shell: http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fconsole_shell.htm
In short steps are:
Place the necessary bundles in a folder. The bundles are:
org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.8.0v<version>.jar
org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.8.0v<version>.jar
org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.8.0v<version>.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.console_1.0.0v<version>.jar
org.eclipse.osgi.jar
Create a
configuration
subfolder put a newconfig.ini
file in it with the following content:osgi.bundles=./org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.8.0v<version>.jar@start,\ ./org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.8.0v<version>.jar@start,\ ./org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.8.0v<version>.jar@start,\ ./org.eclipse.equinox.console.jar@start,\ osgi.console.enable.builtin=false osgi.console=<port>
Start the Equinox framework with this command:
java -jar org.eclipse.osgi.jar

In the above config.ini
osgi.console.enable.builtin=false
must NOT be on the same line with the osgi.bundles
property. The official documentation seems to have this wrong too.
My config.ini
looks like:
osgi.bundles=./org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.10.0.v201209301036.jar@start,\
./org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.10.0.v201209301215.jar@start,\
./org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.10.0.v201212101605.jar@start,\
./org.eclipse.equinox.console.jar@start
osgi.console.enable.builtin=false
osgi.console=4711

Necessary bundles are missing. Add them in run as->run configurations->osgi framework->bundles Add following bundles along with your own bundles and delete others: org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.8.0.v201108120515.jar
org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.8.0.v201108120515.jar
org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.8.0.v201110170705.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.console_1.0.0.v20111215-1210.jar
then click apply and run.
