Hi,
There is no any articles/examples on how you may create and use the
Console in your RCP application.
Seems like this is what need to be done in order to create a Console:
I need an IConsoleView ViewPart that will display MessageConsole.
Apparently I need to register MessageConsole it in IConsoleManager to make
it appear in IConsoelView.
I can't find any reference to IConsoleManager in any plugin. Seems none of
Workbench components implements it.
Maybe it's all wrong that I am doing?
Maybe I should just drop it and try to make console using IViewPart and
some StyledText attached to it ?
Did anyone ever used Console in RCP application?
Thanks.

The console view and API are defined in the org.eclipse.ui.console plug-in,
so you'll need to include this plug-in and its prerequisites in your RCP
app.
You can show the console view using:
IWorkbenchPage page = ...;
IConsoleView consoleView = page.showView(IConsoleConstants.ID_CONSOLE_VIEW);
Like the properties and outline views, the console view has separate pages
within it for different consoles. For example, Debug adds one console for
each process, and CVS adds one too. Consoles are added programmatically,
not via extension point.
To add your own console:
- create a new MessageConsole:
- MessageConsole myConsole = new MessageConsole("My Console", null);
- register it with the console manager:
ConsolePlugin.getDefault().getConsoleManager().addConsoles(n ew IConsole[]
{ myConsole });
To show a console in an existing console view:
consoleView.display(myConsole);
There's also a convenience method for showing a console, opening the console
view in the active window if necessary:
ConsolePlugin.getDefault().getConsoleManager().showConsoleVi ew(myConsole);
Note that the console must have already been added to the manager before
showing it (in both the previous snippets).
To write to a message console, use:
MessageConsoleStream stream = myConsole.newMessageStream(); // hang onto
this
stream.println("Hi there!");

I have following problems.
1. to get IWorkbenchPage I do
IWorkbenchPage page =

I couldn't find any other way to get it.
however, it doesn't throw any exception but page is null :(
2. Expression;
IConsoleView consoleView =
page.showView(IConsoleConstants.ID_CONSOLE_VIEW);
is invalid because page.showView returns IViewPart.
casting IViewPart to IConsoleView produces NullPointerException.
Any other ways around?
Thanks.

Where are you calling this from? You should be able to determine the page
from the containing context of your workbench extension. For example, views
and editors can get this from their site.
The NPE is probably due to the null page. showView does not return null.
It will throw PartInitException if it fails.

The page is not given to the perspective factory. The idea of the
perspective factory is to define the initial layout for a perspective via
the IPageLayout that it's passed. It shouldn't try to directly access the
page, which is still in the process of construction in the case of the
initial perspective.
Try the following. Instead of trying to reach for the page and use
showView, simply add the console view to your perspective.
For example:
layout.addView(IConsoleConstants.ID_CONSOLE_VIEW, IPageLayout.BOTTOM, .5f,
IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA);
You'll also need to add your IConsole to the console manager as described
previously. If it's the only console added to the manager, then it will
show by default in the console view. Since you will likely want to reuse
the same IConsole for different instances of the console view (a different
view instance will be used in different windows), creating and adding the
console would best be done via lazy creation in the plugin class (don't do
it during plugin startup). You could request the console, forcing it to be
created, from the perspective factory, but you wouldn't actually use it at
that point.

that actually worked. The simplest approach is the best :)
How can I instantiate ConsoleViewer to be able to customize it?
If I want to make it non-closeable , for example.
With this apporoach it's created and added through
IConsoleConstants.ID_CONSOLE_VIEW and there's no way to access it.
Thanks.

You can't obtain the actual view at this point, but you can mark its layout
as being non-closeable.
Use
layout.getViewLayout(IConsoleConstants.ID_CONSOLE_VIEW).setC loseable(false);

Thank you!
Why not make this into small article for eclipse.org website?
While building RCP application I quite a few cases like this, when API
documentation doesn't really help. There is a lot of stuff that could be
made into tutorials/articles.

The Debug team, who owns the console view, is aware of the lack of doc about
how to use it, and is working to rectify that.
I intend to add entries to the RCP FAQ about using the console view, and
also about marking views as non-closeable.
The RCP FAQ is available off of the RCP home page, but is currently pretty
minimal.
