When the builder is invoked (including when cleaning), the Console view is made visible and a project-specific builder "subconsole" is shown. The focus is not given to the Console view, the view is just made visible so that work in another view or editor can continue uninterrupted. Build steps and any resulting messages are displayed in the subconsole as the command executes.
The subconsole will have a title of "Ada build" followed by the name of the project enclosed within square brackets. For example, in the following figure, the project Ms1553_Demo has completed a full build:
You can use the standard contextual menu within the subconsole to copy the contents, clear it, and so forth.
There may be multiple build subconsoles within the Console view since multiple projects can exist and be built independently. You can choose among these subconsoles by clicking on the down-arrow next to the "Console" icon and selecting from those that appear in the popup menu. The Console icon is the fourth from the left in the following figure and looks like a computer monitor. This figure also shows the console selection popup menu containing two open subconsole names. Note that the Console icon will be disabled if no other subconsoles exist to be selected.
You can traverse through the various open subconsoles by simply clicking directly on the Console icon.
Note that if another view within the same group containing the Console view already has the focus, for example if the Problems view or the Scenario Variables view is being examined, the specific project's build subconsole is not brought to the front so that working with the other view in that group is not interrupted.
