Looking at the internal code it looks like there is an open object model =
to do this but there doesn't appear to be an extension point or access =
to the underlying OSGI console object.=20

Is anyone aware if this is possible in 3.0.x or 3.1?

Extension points are a runtime thing, the OSGi framework does/cannot not
use the concept. You can provide your own command provider by
registering it as an OSGi service. See EclipseCommandProvider as an
example (adds a few commands).

I did find that but I can not seem to locate how that class is instantiated
or invoked. Would you happen to know that?

EclipseAdaptor instantiates and requests its registration (just look for
references to EclipseCommandProvider). Oh right, there is this
issue... services are registered programatically, so your command
provider can only be registered when/if your plug-in is activated.

To register a service programatically, see BundleContext#registerService.

Ok, in order to get that to work (which it does work doing this) you =
have to export the "org.eclipse.osgi.framework.console" package in the =
org.eclipse.osgi manifest file.

Is this a bug? I would think since these packages are public and the =
object model seems to be very open (which BTW is great) that this would =
be available to use.

Oops... missed that...

Bob, could you open an enhancement request against Platform/Runtime
asking to have org.eclipse.osgi.framework.console exported? Even though
its design seems to be well thought, it is intended for internal use,
and forcing it to follow Eclipse API rules is a strong commitment, so it
may not be as simple as just adding another exported package to the
bundle manifest.

Thanks.
