Custom ECL Commands [message #1745530]

I've tried to create an ecl custom command via following the instructions given on http://help.xored.com/display/ECL/New+Command+Guide

On the above site they have implemented ICommandService Interface, this works perfectly fine but now I want to return a String object from it to the code where this command was called but the interface only lets return an object of IStatus type.

So please suggest solutions or hints for the above problem.

Thanks,
Komal S

The output of a command is not returned from the service implementation. Instead it is returned through a special output object that you obtain from the context passed as a parameter to your command implementation.
In the page you refer to, the line is IPipe output = context.getOutput();

You can also return EMF objects defined in your command. We use that in EGerrit http://git.eclipse.org/c/egerrit/org.eclipse.egerrit.git/tree/org.eclipse.egerrit.ui.tests/src/org/eclipse/egerrit/internal/rcptt/support/CreateReviewService.java
