When a java program is executed in the output window, the OUT and ERR output streams are mixed, and mixed on a character per character base. This is really annoying! Two separate sides of a windowd could be a solution (like in the javadoc window), but mixing the two stream on a line base would be even better.
I believe this is duplicate--there is already a request somewhere to distinguish stderr output (perhaps by color), and there may be a request somewhere to ensure that stdout + stderr are mixed only by lines, not at character granularity. There is also a general desire to reimplement the Output Window to more resemble a conventional terminal emulator with readline-like functionality, as it has a lot of usability problems the way it is now.
