Description Michael Vorburger CLA 2016-05-31 08:23:25 EDT
For the use case described in 495013, one minor feature that is missing IMHO is a Reconnect option feature icon to click on in the toolbar.

It clearly "knows" about my localhost & custom port and uid/pwd because it tries to connect on start up.  But if I restart my SSH "server" (a CLI into a localhost Karaf OSGi), which is frequent, then I have to retype all localhost & custom port and uid/pwd instead of it being able to just re-connect with 1 click.

I thought that the "Ctrl + Alt + T" dialog does remember previous settings so you should be able to re-open a previous session from there.

If not, I think that's where this feature belongs - contributions welcome :)

The Terminal component of the Eclipse Ecosystem has a new home. The Terminal is now part of the Eclipse CDT project[1].

This change means a new Git repo[2], P2 site[3] and Bugzilla component. The terminal will continue to be delivered as part of the quarterly Simultaneous Release of Eclipse as well.

The marketplace entry[4] had not been updated in a few years. It will once again install the latest release of the terminal on the latest release of the whole IDE (currently 2020-03).

If this bug is no longer relevant, please feel free to comment or close the bug. If you can confirm if this issues still occurs in the latest release please do let me know in a comment.
