How do I make Eclipse always show the Problems tab (shown in image), rather than the Debug tab, when an error occurs? I find the Problems tab much more useful, and it is annoying to constantly have to switch from Debug to Problems every time there is an error.

enter image description here

I am using this version of eclipe:

clipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.

Version: Kepler Service Release 1

Build id: 20130919-0819

Not clear what you want. Do you want to display the Problems View in the Debug Perspective? - Simulant
@Simulant I think I am in the normal perspective, the code window is above the window that I showed in the screenshot. Basically, whenever I click F11 to rebuild/run, if there are errors, that bottom window switches to Debug. I want it to stick to Problems, or ideally whatever tab I had last opened. - aaa90210
What abaout moving the debug (or the problem one) to a different part of the window ? Then, both of them should be visible. - ASBH

Op1: Go to Window->Show View->Problems or any other tabs you want eclipse to show

Op2: press Alt+Shift+Q to activate it

I hope my answer would help you.

There's a box a few tabs over next to your current output

You're currently on the tab "Problems" Try the one a few over named "Console" that should fix it
