getting an IConsole from a process [message #288263]

Hi there,

how can I get an IConsole from a running process (I would like to get the
output of a shell script) and how can I attach my IConsoleLineTracker to
it?

You'll have to use the consoleLineTrackers extension point defined in
org.eclipse.debug.ui plugin. There is no way to add a line tracker to a
console directly.

You can also use ConsoleManager (org.eclipse.ui.console plugin) to find
the console you are interested in and add an IPatternMatchListener to it
if you are using Eclipse 3.1 and your console extends TextConsole.

I did create an extension to the consoleLineTrackers extension point -
what is not clear: how can I pass an IConsole to its init method? And, how
can I create an IConsole from a process (that is actually a shell script)

You don't - the framework calls your line tracker's init method with an
IConsole.

You don't the framework creates the console for the process for you.
