Judging from questions asked here, when I searched the database, you CAN run Java console applications from JDeveloper somehow.<br />
<br />
When I run any console applications however, the GUI doesn't seem to give me a chance to enter anything, into the output window.<br />
<br />
How can I run it then?<br />

How can you run and debug a console application  in JDeveloper?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
