Anna: 1. What is Java prospective? (Many Help topics use this termin). It's essentially a template of asociated tasks or features. 2. What is Java Task? I'm not sure what it referes to but will look it up.... And it's not a Java Task, it's an Eclipse Task. Remember Eclipse is the IDE and Java is the programming language. This just in: A task is just as it sounds, it would be like a notepad where you keep a list of thigs to do. 3. I was reading Eclipse Help about the system console view. They are talking about customizing console view useing Preference page, but I was not able to find it. Where is it? The Preference Page in version 3.2 is the last menu item from the Window option. 4. My simple Java class requires an input string. How to enter that input on the system console? It should be three parts of that console - one is exactly for entering data, but I'm not able to find a place for typing. See my previous message pertaining directly to this question. Thank you very much, Anna
