Dear PMC,
I just entered a CQ for the Target
Management Project:
This is a fanctastic plain contribution
which has been sitting on bugzilla
for just too long - we need it, so please vote +1 for accepting
this into
Eclipse now (more details
below).
Thanks,
Martin
PS The details:
----------------------
This is a plain EPL contribution, which
will enable the Target Management
Terminal to be used for local shells. In
other words, you'll be able to run your
cygwin bash, Linux tcsh or whatever
inside Eclipse in an ANSI terminal that
supports Emacs, vi
etc.
Or, you create an "External Tool" launch
config for your favorite commandline
tool -- in the past, the Eclipse Console
could only be used for such programs,
so if the program required terminal
control for a menu or so, you were out of
luck. Now, such external programs can run
in a terminal.
As far as I know, the CDT is also
considering this groundwork program for use
in I/O for
debuggees.
