Description Adam Schlegel

When creating an external tool, there is checkbox to "Show execution log on 
console". Non-ant external tools do not respet this setting.

If the Log Console view is not open, then running a non-Ant external tool will 
only cause the view to be opened if the "Show execution log" option is 
selected. However, if the Log console view is already open, running the non-ant 
external tool will always log its output to the view. The view is only cleared 
before excution if the "Show execution log" option is selected.

Need to have this checkbox for non-Ant external tools as well.
Be sure to still siphon off output from the Process if it's being discarded, 
otherwise it will hang if it generates a lot of output and fills the buffer.
