Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

The Java Stack Trace Console panel is very useful and I tend to need it all the time.  Also the Console panel is very useful to see what my program actually prints, but the two for some reason are in the same view, making it difficult at best to use them both.  As they are logically different (even if they share some implementation) it would make sense to have the Java Stack Trace console a separate panel.  It might even track the contents of the clipboard, making it even easier to navigate to an error location.  Ctrl-C, see it in the panel, click the line.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Java Stack Trace Console 
2.Run program
3.Console switches away from Stack Trace Console.

Couldn't you just spawn new console views?

Move to JDT/UI

You can have two separate consoles and pin them. Suggest to close as WONTFIX.

Marking as works for me. Use the "New Console View" action in the console drop down toolbar action to open a new console. You can open a stack trace console there and then pin the view (toolbar action) so it does not track the active process output.
