How to pin the console to main window

I am having a problem in eclipse where the console has been separated from the text editor window and has become its own window. I have looked in the eclipse help, where it says to simply drag and drop it back in, but this is not working. How would I pin it so that it has the same behaviors as the package explorer or outline? I am using Eclipse Luna.

I just opened Eclipse Luna and this is the screenshot before I moved the console tab from its default position:

Editor with console in place

This is the screenshot once I dragged it out of place into its own separate window:

All you need to do now to put it back in place is this:

  • Click the the tab where it says Console
  • Drag it to your target location (say next to the Project Explorer tab) until you see a gray vertical line at the point where you're trying to drop it.
  • Drop it i.e. let go of the mouse.
