I have installed in my eclipse (3.7.1) that i use for Java(JDT) development, aptana plugin because i'm working on some web project sometimes, now my console view have black background also when i'm in Java perspective ...

Why ?

How can i restore the default withe background of the console when i'm in Java perspective ? How can i do ?

Eclipse Console View

As you can see from the screenshot above the name of the console now is : "Aptana Scripting Console" , Why ?

The strange thing is that when i run the application in debug mode the console turn automatically with the default white background, and when i remove the debug instance the console turn black background again ...

Can i change the background color of a view for a specific perspective ?

Update

Switching to Eclipse theme from Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes i had my Console view white again, but remain the fact that the console is named "Aptana Scripting Console", seems that aptana override the default eclipse console .

If i try to open the standard JDT Console, i can't because i don't have it in the list, the console appear only when i start debug my application :

Available Console

Maybe could be a bug of the plugin, or an incompatibility of eclipse with the plugin ...

You could change the theme from Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes. The default is Aptana Studio, which has the black background, and you could switch to Eclipse.

You could also disable Enable Invasive Themes from the same preferences page to just turn off Aptana theming on Eclipse views.

Keyboard shortcut to "untab" (move a block of code to the left) in eclipse / aptana?

Well, hopefully the question is self-explanatory. It's so easy to select a block of code and tab out, but how about the reverse? Currently, I just search & replace for whitespace at the beginning of the line. Anything faster?
