How can i stop Eclipse's "Servers" tab from grabbing focus when start/stopping a server?
When using Eclipse IDE, anytime the server (tomcat in my case) changes status (start, starting, stopping, stopped, etc...), the Servers tab becomes active. This is annoying because then I can't see Console.
By default, I think Console has "Show Console when std out/err changes" which results in a minor skirmish between the two tabs. I don't like having this option either. I simply want the tab I chose to stay active, none of the auto business.
Is there any way to stop Servers tab from grabbing focus/active?
Thanks.
Edit
I should mention that my Console and Servers tab live in the same grouping of tabs.
You can disable the focus grabbing in Preferences - Server. There is a single Checkbox "Show Servers view when server state changes".
Also:
Preferences -> Rund/Debug -> Console: Disable "Show console when standard output changes"
To prevent this, deselect these options:
"Show console when standard output changes"
and
"Show console when standard error changes"
Then the console will not take focus.
But what I advise is to use the simple short cuts for navigation:
Press F12 to return to Editor. Press Alt+Shift+Q, P - to return to the package editor Press Alt+Shift+Q, O - to outline Press Alt+Shift+Q, S - to search Press Alt+Shift+Q, C - to console Press Alt+Shift+Q, Q - to show all views and choose correct Press Ctrl+F7 - display a list of opened views Press Ctrl+F8 - select perspective
Preferences -> Rund/Debug -> Console:
Disable "Show console when standard output changes"
