Re: [cdt-dev] Build console location
There is a dropdown box on the right of the view listing all available consoles and you can select one. I think we should add CDT build console there.

About that.  We've had complaints that the build console is only opened by the first build.
For example, bug 297222 "Allow temporary build arguments from build console"
would allow to add arguments for the build directly from the build console, but to see
the console, we'd need to do a build first :-(
 
I was thinking that we could have a way to open the build console manually, without
triggerring a build.  Expert opinions would be welcomed.

Often, it's just creating a test project. I'll try to remember which
one it was, either Executable or Makefile, the next time I see it. But
that shouldn't really matter since the coloring should be independent
from the choice of builder.
It more depends on *how* you used to build your projects than on project type. Do you use context menu, main menu, build icon, Ctrl-B or something else? We got a multitude of ways to build.

Actually, the black console problem is very relevant to build console location we are discussing. The location of the console in cdt.ui is one of several factors resulting in black console bug (the root cause being bug 214215 Synchronization issue the first time preferences are accessed.) The problem is that when you do a build, build plugin spawns another thread which starts the console. The console located in cdt.ui plugin and inits cdt.ui preference store. In the meantime, the first thread keeps going and may/does also access some other facility in cdt.ui initializing the preference store. So there is a race condition where we hit bug 214215. I don't really see a good way to get around it currently. Should console be located in build plugin or its own plugin we wouldn't have that embarrassing issue.
