Temp- and compile-buffers display in ECB

If you call any help in Emacs, e.g. by calling describe-function, or if you do a completion in the minibuffer, then Emacs displays the result-buffer in another window. This behavior you have also in ECB. If the edit-window is already splitted then the temp-buffer is displayed in the "other" edit-window otherwise the edit-window will be splitted first. The variables temp-buffer-max-height and temp-buffer-resize-mode work also correctly with ECB.

Same for all compilation output-buffers (e.g. after a compile or grep) and the variable compilation-window-height.

In general: With the options ecb-compilation-buffer-names and ecb-compilation-major-modes you can define which buffers should be displayed in the compile-window of ECB for example if you call switch-to-buffer for a buffer.

This is default behavior of ECB. But there is also another way to display such buffers:
