Marc,

You are right, they should only be shown by the launch.

I created bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321361 for this.

Thanks - Ken

Subject: [cdt-dev] EDC's program consoles

Hi,

I noticed that EDC adds two consoles to the list of consoles that can be opened at any time.
This is done using the extension point org.eclipse.ui.console.consoleFactories

Do we really want to do this?
First, on Linux, I probably should not see a "Windows Program Output Console", :-)
but going beyond that, is there a reason why a user would want to open
the Program Output Console when there is no EDC debug launch running?

I'm inclined to believe the console should only be shown by the launch.

Thanks

Marc
