Eclipse doesn't allow to open gonsole after installation and restart

[nshavitt]

I just installed the plugin but after restart of eclipse, trying to open the gonsole console , I failed because I didn't get it as an option in the new console menu.

Could you please post your system information (Java Version, Eclipse Version, OS Version) and check if there are any log entries in the Error log available? This might ease to find the problem's cause. In any case, take care that you're using a Java 8 VM since older versions are not supported.

Version: Luna SR2 (4.4.2)
Build id: M20150204-1700
java version "1.7.0_45"

Ok, it seems as if your Java version is too old. Gonsole needs 1.8.0 or newer. See also #59 and the requirements section on http://rherrmann.github.io/gonsole/.

Closing this issue as it seems to be resolved. @nshavitt, please re-open with further information if you still experience problems.

I'm having the same issue, but my Eclipse and Java versions are more modern:
OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1
Eclipse:
Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3)
Build id: 20170314-1500
Java:
java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

@bsolino the environment that you list should work. Do you see any related messages in the Error Log view or during installation? Please also make sure that gonsole is shown in the about dialog.
