How to customize Java Console View? [message #221549] Thu, 05 January 2006 10:41 Go to next message

Hi everybody,

when I start a java application everything that goes to System.out is
listed in the console view. System.in is read from the console view.

I would like to customize this view to have features of a shell.
In particular I would like to have a history of all Strings entered. The
list of entered Strings should be accessible using the cursor keys...

Can anyone give me a starting point for extending the console view?
Where is the console view defined?
What class is a starting point for walking through the code?

Thomas,
There is an outstanding bug for this sort of work. See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36669 for details.

The general console framework is provided by the org.eclipse.ui.console
plugin. In there you can look at TextConsole and IOConsole. The
particular console that you are referring to is the ProcessConsole which
is contributed by the org.eclipse.debug.ui plugin.
