Description David Bailey CLA 2002-08-22 12:34:16 EDT 
Seems there are times when it would be useful to programatically
capture/analyze the output of an external tool.  I have managed to
do this by subclassing LogConsoleView, but I don't really want to
add another View to the Workspace: I just want the output Strings.

I want to be able to capture the output to the Log Console window no
matter how an external process is launched.  So it seems I need to be
listening to the Log Console window somehow.

To be looked at when we switch to using the debug console
Comment 2 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-11 09:33:36 EST 
This issue has been addressed in the external tools "work in progres" (I.e. you 
have to turn on the "work in progress" preference for external tools, to use 
launch configurations. This will become the way external tools work, by 
default, once the implementation is compelte. Programs now register a process 
with the debugger, and output is captured in the console.
