Issue
I am using Eclipse version 2019-03 on Windows 10. Whenever I launch it another window pops up as well. It looks this:
The window resembles the Windows terminal and logs all errors, that are occurring while using Eclipse. I can close this window, but then unfortunately Eclipse shuts down immediately as well.
How can I close this window without shutting down Eclipse?
Solution
The problem persisted. Now I checked the eclipse.ini
again to find a hint why a console window started with eclipse.
There I found the following lines:
-vm
jdk1.8.0_181/jre/bin/java.exe
The command java.exe launches a java application with an associated console window. It disappeared when I changed it to:
-vm
jdk1.8.0_181/jre/bin/javaw.exe
See here for an explanation:
Difference between 'java', 'javawv, and 'javaws'
