Okay, this is not the first time this issue has been raised over the years, but I've not seen a proper fix/explanation and has this issue caused me great embarrassment when teaching C on Monday I was proper upset 
Windows 7, installed minGW, sorted out the path statement (and why MinGW doesn't do this is rather annoying too, it is 2012 folks, not 1987! - but I guess not Eclipse fault)
Downloaded and unzipped Eclipse CDT.
Ran Eclipse, create supplied Hello World. Built it, then Run configuration, and run - yay.
made a change, run it, error.
After investigations and possible work arounds such as changing compatibility mode which seemed to work, but then one of my students emailed to say it wasn't, I have now discovered that what is happening is that the Test.exe is STILL running, even though it should have exited and the Eclipse console stop button isn't red.
I have to kill it from Task manager or use process Manager/Process Hacker.
My obvious question is why is this not a major issue for folks, since on the four laptops used by my students each one had the same issue as did I on two laptops.
Am I doing something wrong, or do folk just accept it or ...
Is it a minGW issue?
Also the console on Eclipse is complete and utter ...
Perhaps I should have tried something else.
Yeah, I'm a tad disappointed as I use Eclipse for teaching Java and (apart from the console there too) it's good.
Sorry I'm a bit negative, but its frustrating when you spend hours trying to get student laptops to work, rather than teaching them something and when they've paid good money.
