Open a remote shell programmatically [message #17746]

Hello,

I have the following question:

I want to execute a command remotely in the default shell of a
connection programmatically, hence I wrote:

IRemoteCmdSubSystem cmdSS =
RemoteCommandHelpers.getCmdSubSystem(connection);
IRemoteCommandShell shell = cmdSS.getDefaultShell();
cmdSS.sendCommandToShell("ls", shell, null);

If the default shell was not open, it is opened, but only shown in the
"Remote Systems" view. I now want to do programmatically exactly what
happens when I choose "Show in Remote Shell View" from the default
shell's context menu, i.e. the "Remote Shell" view shall pop up, and the
default shell shall be visible (i.e. newly opened, or brought to
foreground).

How can I accomplish this?

Thank you + best regards,
Harald Krapfenbauer

Okay, the best I achieved up to now is the following code:

SystemCommandsViewPart cmdsPart =
SystemCommandsUI.getInstance().activateCommandsView();
if (cmdsPart != null) {
cmdsPart.updateOutput(finalShell); cmdsPart.showPageFor(finalShell);
}

(where finalShell is an IRemoteCommandShell)

This uses RSE-internal classes, and this is not a good way of course.
Bringing the "Remote shells" view to foreground is possible without
activateCommandsView(), but for showing the IRemoteShell in this view I
found nothing in the public API.

Any better solutions welcome!

Hi Harld,

Could you open a defect for this? Right now I don't know of a way for you
to avoid using the internal classes since SystemCommandsViewPart is
internal. Perhaps we can make SystemCommandsUI public and provide an
updateOutput() method in there.
