console input doesn't work [message #176276]

I am developing a Java application that needs to read user input from
stdin. When I run the app in eclipse, the output is correctly
displayed in the Console view, however I am unable to type any input
in the console and the application doesn't receive any input.

I finally managed to find one relevant reference on the web:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools/msg20406 .html
however it doesn't mention a resolution.

I am using eclipse 3.0 on linux with java 1.4.2 (from Sun) and gtk 2.4.4.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Is the cursor at the bottom/end of the console? We only allow typing at the
end.

I thought so.

That makes sense being a stream and not an entire cursor-addressable
terminal.

At any rate it worked today. Go figure. Maybe when I tried before
the cursor just happened to be one character (a space) before the end
of the stream and that's why it didn't work? Oh well. At least it
works now.

Thanks for your response!
