Hi.
I am new to RCP and am trying to add a console view, similar to the one in Eclipse in my RCP Application. I am unable to add the console itself. I want to display the log contents generated by log4j in it.
Currently I have tried 2 methods to add a console view, however to no avail.
1. I added the following to my Perspective.java class
MessageConsole myConsole = new MessageConsole("Console", Activator
.getImageDescriptor("icons/book.png"));
ConsolePlugin.getDefault().getConsoleManager()
.addConsoles(new IConsole[] { myConsole });
final MessageConsoleStream stream = myConsole.newMessageStream();
final PrintStream myS = new PrintStream(stream);
System.setOut(myS);
System.setErr(myS);
2. This is a piece of code I came across on one forum. the displayConsoleView is returning 'false'.
error received : Could not create view: org.eclipse.ui.console.ConsoleView
Do I have to create a view in the extensions of my application first? or should this be created at runtime?
