Pretty straight forward. I've been working in Eclipse Juno for a while now and my console always worked. When you output to the console with

System.out.println("Something");

In java, or just when you compile and build your project there's always some output in the console. But today, I started up the IDE, and nothing. No console output. I've restarted Eclipse, reset the perspective.. Nothing is happening.

Using the Java EE version just btw. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

SOLVED: So after struggling for how long, I shut down my server. Killed eclipse. And restarted everything and the console is now working again. No idea how this happened in the first place.

There is a small pull-down icon on the right of the console that lets you select which console you want to see. Maybe you accidentally selected a different console.
