Where do the server's and the app's messages display in Intellij 2016?

Question

When running a Gradle project in IntelliJ 15, I would get verbose output like this, spoonfeeding me with a link to click to launch my app, and see output statements using a println statement as described below.

Now, I just installed IntelliJ 2016 and here is what the Run output window looks like; and that's it! No link, and I can't see the output of my println statements like before! Just useless spinners counting time and nothing else. Am I missing a window or something?

Once you switch, you'll get the exact same console view you're used to:
