Problems to use Console object on Java 6

[Carlos Renato Domingos da Silva]

Hi , I am using jdk1.6.0_27 and I am with problems on Console Object.

I am also using eclipse Helios Service Release 1 ( 20100917-0705 ).

This code below prints null. Somebody knows why?

import java.io.Console;

public class ConsoleTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Console console = System.console();

System.out.println("Console is " + console);

}
}

This code prints in my console: "Console is null"

What 's the problem?

Eclipse is the problem

If you run it in command line, you'll get what you want.
