Is it possible to add the Console of Eclipse IDE to an Eclipse e4 RCP application?
If yes, please, how can I do that?

hi,

just a quick guess ... if i want to see what is going on i add

-consoleLog

as a cmdline Argument to the executable of my product. I also tried adding -console but as i (now) read in the following link this is used to set the access-port of osgi-console to a specific port (i suppose)

See

http://help.eclipse.org/juno/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/runtime-options.html?cp=2_1_3_0

for a complete Reference of cmdline args.

HTH,
Dan

//edit: please unread all above if you "just" want a "Console View ViewPart" in your Product ... then i suppose the best/worst info is the following post: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/367427/

Maybe it is implemented in Kepler? Toms reply is already ~6 months old and maybe something has been done to have it implemented/ported?

Hi Dan,

Many Thanks for your reply!

What I want is a Console View Part in my Product. So it is a bad news for me!

The good news are that I finish the following tutorial dirksmetric dot wordpress dot com/2012/08/01/tutorial-eclipse-rcp-e4-with-3-x-views-like-project-explorer-properties-etc/#more-132

So I will try to replace the Project Explorer by the Console and call/include this library/plugin with my E4 RCP Application. If I was successful on it I will post the solution here.

You can't reuse them in pure E4 RCP application.
If you want to reuse them then you have to use compatibility layer provided by E4.

There is following links which will guide to step by step.
1. Eclipse4CompatibilityLayer
