I use a Mac all the time.  When testing or using a local Orion server I have never used the console.  If the info simply went to a log file that would likely be fine.  So long as I still had the double-clickable icon and it showed up in the task bard and I could stop it with the menu.

It might be that the console and the menu are related.

This bundle is used to bring up a server console window on Mac. On Windows it is not needed because Windows opens a Java console window by default. On Linux it is not needed because people usually start the server from a shell and pipe console output to file. I would be curious to hear if others still think this Mac console window is useful. Are any Mac users on this list actually using this console window to interact with the server. We could simplify (and shrink) our builds by getting rid of it.

This is currently configured in org.eclipse.orion.server.tests/test.xml. There is no separate configuration file. The server tests bundle starts up the server by itself in the same process. Here is the relevant snippet with the required VM arguments: 

                       <property name="extraVMargs" value="-Declipse.log.level=WARNING 
                                                                                               -Dorg.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty.http.port=7070 
                                                                                               -Dorg.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty.autostart=false 
                                                                                               -Dorion.tests.authtype=Basic" />

This bundle isn't built. It just contains some command line utilities that I have used for metadata cleanup and conversion on our servers. I typically build it manually when needed from my workspace. There is no need to include it in automated builds at this point.
