How can I get the output of Ant in my plugin sent to the Console view in
Eclipse? I've looked through AntLaunchDelegate, NullBuildLogger, and
AntProcessBuildLogger but it's not making sense. I can see where a class
name is passed as a String to AntRunner.addBuildLogger but I can't see how
to interact with that class. Don't the setOutputPrintStream and
setMessageOutputLevel methods (at a minimum) need to be called and set
accordingly?

The console view works through ILaunches and IProcesses. When you launch
something, an ILaunch is passed to an ILaunchConfigurationDelegate for
launching. It is the delegate's job to add IProcesses to the ILaunch. Each
IProcess must supply streams to its input and output streams. Everything
else is done for you - the streams are automatically connected to the
console after that.

Note, things are being added to the console for 3.0, providing more
flexibility. There was a post somewhere earlier about this.

You should not need to interact with the build logger.
It handles all of the messages logged from the Ant build.
What exactly are you trying to do and what exactly have you tried?
