Description Ian Bull CLA 2006-04-30 02:37:36 EDT 
ATL seems to map the console output to the current console, instead of the console of launcher of eclipse.
That is, if I have ATL checked out in my workbench and run a runtime workbench. If I run a transformation, the output appears in my "runtime workbench" not my original one.  

This is fine, but if I have a large error message it causes eclipse to freeze.  According to bug #136943 you cannot write to your own console in the UI thread.

Can we change ATL so any console writes happen from a separate thread?

Cheers,
Ian

This should be fixed or improved with bug 259107.  However, it is still not recommended that you dump large amounts of information to the console in the UI thread.
