Adding console filter to external tool? [message #336045] Fri, 15 May 2009 04:25 Go to next message

Hi all,

I apologize if this question has been asked before. Is there any easy
way to create a plugin that adds links to the console based on regular
expressions? I only want to do this on certain programs. The only way I
can think of is to create a new external tools launch delegate, copy
over all of
org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.internal.prohgram.launchConfigu ration, and
modify just the console (I'm looking through the source to see how to do
that right now). I'm sure there's an easier way, though.

Thanks,
All the best,
Robert

Just to clarify, I want to make it so that if a program outputs:

.../candy/compiler/parser.d:880 - Identifier parseFuncttionLiteral not
defined

The "../candy/compiler/parser.d:880" part becomes a link that opens up
an editor for that file to line 880 and I can delete that extra "t".
Ideally, I'd have a regular expression for finding the links that sends
the links as strings to another class (that I write) that finds the file
& line and opens the editor.

Thanks!

My bad; ignore this; I found IConsoleLineTracker

Okay, now is there any quick way to search for a file, given a path that
might be somewhere in the workspace? So if I have a path:
.../candy/compiler/parser.d
.... is there a quick way to find that file?

Thanks,
Robert

You'll probably have to construct an IPath (instance of
org.eclipse.core.runtime.Path) and then get the IFile for that path.
This section of the Plug-in Development help will probably be useful:
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclips e.platform.doc.isv/guide/resInt.htm

The gist is that, once you have the IPath, get the IWorkspaceRoot via
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot()
and from the root you can get files.

I don't think you can use relative paths like above as-is; you'll have
to figure a way to make it an absolute path (absolute in the workspace).

Hope this helps,
Eric

Yup; I know about IPath, etc., the problem is how to search the
workspace for the relative path. I've found a sort-of solution that
works in 95% of cases, and short of implementing an entire search
indexer that's about as good as I think I'll get.

Thanks!
