Hi,
I'd like to display a console view and print a message in it in a RCP project.
Anyone has an example or an idea of how to do it?

Thanks,

Gael

Two things. In the plugin.xml for you workbench plugin, add:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
<perspectiveExtension targetID="someID">
<view
id="org.eclipse.ui.console.ConsoleView"
relationship="stack"
relative="bottom"/>
</perspectiveExtension>
</extension>

For code (not the best coding practices below. Best use singleton
pattern for the MyConsole class):

1)

public class ConsoleFactory implements IConsoleFactory {

/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see org.eclipse.ui.console.IConsoleFactory#openConsole()
*/
public void openConsole() {
MyConsole.msg("Started");
MessageConsole console = MyConsole.getMessageConsole();
ConsolePlugin.getDefault().getConsoleManager().addConsoles(
new IConsole[] { console });
}
}

2)

public class MyConsole {
private static MessageConsole console;
private static MessageConsoleStream msgStream;

public static MessageConsoleStream getMessageConsoleStream () {
return msgStream;
}
public static MessageConsole getMessageConsole () {
return console;
}

public static void msg (String msg) {
if (console == null) {
console = new MessageConsole (Application.APP_NAME + " console", null);
msgStream = console.newMessageStream();
}
if (msg != null) {
msgStream.println(msg);
}
}
}
