How to retain old Message Windows
When i run my project again, the old message window is overwritten, i do not want it to overwrite the old message window since i might want to see what error message i got previously. For example in the Find window i can view the old search results by clicking on the button...
I am aware that there is an export option to save the content of the message window in a text file, but i dont want to do this everytime and coming from the Eclipse world am use to having my old console output available for viewing anytime.
I am using Idea 7.0.4

The question applies to run window as well...can some one make this thread a question, considering that i was beyond my 15 minute time period to make it a question...
Right click and pin it.
Thanks, that was simple.
Hello vipin,
Right click the tab of the Messages window and select "Pin Tab" from the
context menu.

k, i was able to do pin tab, but i don't see how it helps. When i run my application again it overwrites the old console, how do i retrieve the old console on which i had earlier said "Pin Tab"
While the 'Pin Tab' works fine for the 'Message' window, now i have the new ant task being run in a new tab, on the 'Run' window 'Pin Tab' solution does not work since the same window gets overwritten when i run my application again. Is there any idea how can i get this functionality (of not removing the old outputs) on the 'Run' window.
tia.
It worked on the Run window as well, when i rerun a particular application using the 'Rerun' button it overwrites the console though which makes sense i guess, but i got confused thinking its not opening new tab in the 'Run' window.
Thanks.
