I have created a simple c project in eclipse CDT kepler .The program just asks for a number and prints it out.

int main(void)
	{
		int a,b,c;
		printf("Enter a number ->");
		scanf("%d",&a);
		printf("the number is %d",a);
	}

when i run the program nothing is printed in the eclipse console window,only a blinking cursor is visible.when i enter a number for eg 1
i get the following output

1

Enter a number ->the number is 1

if i go to Debug folder and click the exe file .the program runs ok. why is there a difference in behavior between the two cases?

while on other IDE's like Visual C++,Code::Blocks when you Run the program the program runs in the system console (cmd.exe).Is it possible to do use cmd.exe instead of eclipse console.
