I am using Eclipse version 2019-03 on Windows 10. Whenever I launch it another window pops up as well. It looks this:

enter image description here

The window resembles the Windows terminal and logs all errors, that are occurring while using Eclipse. I can close this window, but then unfortunately Eclipse shuts down immediately as well.

How can I close this window without shutting down Eclipse?

The problem persisted. Now I checked the eclipse.ini again to find a hint why a console window started with eclipse.

There I found the following lines:

-vm
jdk1.8.0_181/jre/bin/java.exe

The command java.exe launches a java application with an associated console window. It disappeared when I changed it to:

-vm
jdk1.8.0_181/jre/bin/javaw.exe

See here for an explanation:

Difference between 'java', 'javawv, and 'javaws'
