RE: [cdt-dev] Interfacing Eclipse Workbench UI with GNU debuggerfunctions 
Hi!

That's quite a rough piece of code, but should work... ;-)
You may want to use it to better understand how that CDI stuff works.

//=====================

	CDebugTarget target;

	// retrieve a valid target here...
	
	if (target== null || target.isDisconnected() ||
target.isTerminated())
			return;

	MISession session =
((Target)(target.getCDITarget())).getMISession();
   
    	try {
		String myGdbCommand = "<type your command here>";
    		session.postCommand(new MICommand(MIVersion.MI1,
myGdbCommand));
	} 
	catch (Exception e) {
		// do whatever you need to handle the exception
	}

//=====================

Ciao,
	Giuseppe.
