Hi All,

I would like to use the debuggin support
in GEF framework. Is there any way to
redirect the output to the Console window
in Eclipse?

In the GEF class there is setConsole(Text textBox)
method. Is it possible to use the text box of
the Console window?

thanks

cheers

You could always just use System.out.println(), which writes to the
console view.

No, the console is running in a different process.
We do have a Debug View that can be opened and the debug text can be read.
That View's definition has been removed from the XML to prevent it from
showing up in real projects. To add it back, put this in GEF's plugin.xml.

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<category
id="org.eclipse.gef"
name="GEF Debug views">
</category>
<view
id="GEF Debug console"
name="GEF Trace Console"
category="org.eclipse.gef"
class="org.eclipse.gef.ui.console.DebugGEF"
icon="icons/debugGEF.gif">
</view>
</extension>

Yeah, this is exactly what I need. I have placed the code
into the GEF's plugin.xml file, but unfortunately there is
an exception (NullPointerException) in showView method
(Perspective class) see the code:

public IViewPart showView(String viewID)

throws PartInitException

{

IViewReference ref = getViewFactory().createView(viewID); // The ID is
"GEF Debug console"

IViewPart part = (IViewPart)ref.getPart(true);
// This method returns null.

ViewSite site = (ViewSite)part.getSite();
// Null Pointer exception

ViewPane pane = (ViewPane)site.getPane();

Do you have an idea what could be the problem?

thanks
