I'm trying to use the java.io.Console from within of Eclipse. However, whenever I call System.console () returns me null.
In jetty, you can pass parameters in the eclipse console. For example, if I press 'x' on the eclipse console, the jetty is terminated.
Does anyone know how to get it to consider the view Eclipse Console as a console for java in debug mode?
System.console () does not work in eclipse because in fact, even though there is a view called console, it is not actually a console. If you run the same code via terminal, it will work.
This issue is discussed here: link
You can use this here:
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
String content = scanner.nextLine();
System.out.println("O contéudo lido foi: "+content);
scanner.close();
The Eclipse view console is accessed through System.in and System.out.
