RE: [dsdp-tm-dev] RE: Using the terminal in an RCP

["Schnaubelt, Gabe T" <gabe.t.schnaubelt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Martin, thanks for your help. I need a little more detailed info. I'd
like to programmatically create the terminal view, rather than have a
user enable it. In my Eclipse project I added a dependency on
org.eclipse.tm.terminal, org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view, and
org.eclipse.tm.terminal.ssh.

I created a view extension pointing to
org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view.Terminalview.

In my Perspective class I tried to add the view:
viewFolder.addView("org.eclipse.tm.terminal.View");

The program starts, but when I try to access the view it fails because
TerminalViewPlugin is null.

Thanks, Gabe
