I want to write to console of runtime workbench, my code is:

MessageConsole console = new MessageConsole("myConsole", null);
ConsolePlugin.getDefault().getConsoleManager().addConsoles(
new IConsole[] {console});
MessageConsoleStream stream=console.newMessageStream();
stream.println("Ok, I can write to the console!");

But error in the .log file:
!MESSAGE java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.eclipse.ui.console.AbstractConsole.<init>(AbstractConsole.java:130)
at org.eclipse.ui.console.MessageConsole.<init>(MessageConsole.java:73)

why?
Thanks

Looks like you do not run the code in a run-time workbench.

So, what is on line 130 of AbstracConsole? I mean, what is causing the NPE?

Line 130 attempts to access the ConsolePlugin default instance.
zc must be referencing and using the MessageConsole outside of the context
of its plugin and the Console plugin's lifecycle.
That is the plugin's default instance does not exist which results in the
NPE.

Why didn't you say that?

http://eclipsefaq.org, FAQ 307, "How do I write to the console from a
plug-in?"

I copy the code in FAQ 307 in my program, but when I run it in runtime
workbench, NullPointerException error in the line "IConsoleManager conMan
= plugin.getConsoleManager();".

Thank you, I think you are right. So how can I use the console in the
plugin's lifecycle?

Have your plugin require the Console plugin in the plugin.xml of your
plugin.
Something like:
<requires>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.ui.console"/>
</requires>

I would guess that you have just put the Console plugin JARs on your build
path and are attempting to build and run using that setup. This will not
work.

Hit the nail on the head! I add this line in my plugin.xml file and it
works!
Thank you!!!

For future reference, you don't need to include plugin jars of other
plugins that you need. Just update the plugin.xml file and the PDE will
automatically include any plugin jar from the required plugin that you
need. You almost never have to touch the java build path of a plugin
project because the pde manages to for you.
