Running the following program within Eclipse shows that the ordering of output 
sent to stdout and stderr is not deterministic. If the program is run outside 
of Eclipse the order is correct.
This is a serious problem for programs like 'javadoc' which report the location 
of a problem via stdout and the problem itself via stderr. With the Eclipse 
console javadoc's output is impossible to interpret.

public class Writer {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		for (int i= 0; i < 100; i++) {
			System.out.println("stdout: " + i);
			System.out.flush();
			
			System.err.println("stderr: " + i);
			System.err.flush();
		}
	}
}
