The Java Console


There are several different methods of viewing the Java Console when running JDesignerPro.

Opening the JDesignerPro Java Console

When running JDP locally (ie, not through a browser) the console will appear automatically if a message is output to it. You can also manually open it by choosing the Show Java Console option on the Help menu.

When running JDP in either Netscape or MS IE (4.0 or later) you may view the Java Console by opening the browser's console.

Opening the Netscape Java Console

To open the Netscape Java Console choose Java Console from the Communicator menu.

Opening the Microsoft Internet Explorer Java Console

To open the Microsoft Internet Explorer Java Console you first need to activate it from the Internet Options menu.

After restarting MS IE you can finally open the console from the View Menu. Microsoft is trying hard to not let you know that they now have a Java console in their browser don't you think!
