Execute console commands, show output in console view [message #490090]

Hello,

I'm using eclipse 3.4.2 on linux x64. In my plugin I want to execute
some linux console commands/scripts and show the output in the eclipse
console view.
For me it is also important that the shell from which eclipse was
started is used for input as there are some environment variables set I
want to use.
So, how can I do it?

Regards
Vitaliy

I am afraid you can't get the shell from which the eclipse is launched. Eclipse runs in JVM and so it isn't aware how is it lauched (AFIAK). You could always run Runtime.getRuntime().exec to execute system command. Write a script that will do the environment setup and call it before launching your custom script. Hope this helps

Thanks,
Ravi
