| RE: [dsdp-pmc] PMC approval for TM local terminal contribution |
|
+1 from Doug From:
dsdp-pmc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dsdp-pmc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf
Of Oberhuber, Martin Dear
PMC, I
just entered a CQ for the Target Management Project: This
is a fanctastic plain contribution which has been sitting on bugzilla for
just too long - we need it, so please vote +1 for accepting this into Eclipse
now (more details below). Thanks, Martin PS
The details: ---------------------- This
is a plain EPL contribution, which will enable the Target Management Terminal
to be used for local shells. In other words, you'll be able to run your cygwin
bash, Linux tcsh or whatever inside Eclipse in an ANSI terminal that supports
Emacs, vi etc. Or,
you create an "External Tool" launch config for your favorite
commandline tool
-- in the past, the Eclipse Console could only be used for such programs, so
if the program required terminal control for a menu or so, you were out of luck.
Now, such external programs can run in a terminal. As
far as I know, the CDT is also considering this groundwork program for use in
I/O for debuggees. |
