How to open console output in new tab?

What was the trick to open console output in a new tab in eclipse? (handy for big prints -> no need for scrolling through the tiny console).

Solution

  • I have the answer - I asked prof. Klint, and he knew where it was, so the trick is:

    First to import util::ValueUI; in your Rascal code, and then - instead of using print() or its variants, just use text(). Whatever you prompt to standard output, shall be pushed to a new tab in your Eclipse IDE.
