| [virgo-dev] TAB completion, History, port binding |
|
Hi, I finally managed to get the console extension bundle (attached)
running in Virgo. To test it: 1.
Use Virgo with Equinox 3.6 – either replace the
one in lib or use latest build 2.
Enable console port in org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.userregion.properties 3.
Place the attached bundle in lib 4.
Connect via telnet The bundle uses hook to replace the standard console with
one with more features like: ·
TAB completion – using TAB you can
complete the command you type or list the possible commands starting with the
entered string. Not pluggable but this can be extended in the future. ·
History o
using the arrows you can get the previous or the
next command you typed o
Page Up/Down brings the first/last command ·
Port binding – the console port
can be bound to a specific network interface (identified by hostname or
IP) in the format <host/IP>:<port>. This can be used to allow
connections only from localhost for increased security. For instance:
osgi.console=localhost:2401 ·
Line editing – backspace and arrows
now work as expected I’m now starting to integrate this in Virgo. Hopefully
the features will be available till the mid of October and will reach post
2.1.0 versions. Regards, Hristo Iliev |
