[dsdp-tm-dev] RE: Target Management Project - Undergraduate Level thesis to Politecnico di Milano

Hello Francesco,
 
look at what TerminalView.setupControls() does.
 
That's the class filling the current view. You'll see how the SWT Widget is
created, and hooked up with a particular connector:
 

ITerminalConnectorInfo[] connectors=TerminalConnectorExtension.getTerminalConnectors();

fCtlTerminal = TerminalViewControlFactory.makeControl(this, wndParent, connectors);

fCtlTerminal.setConnector(myFavoriteConnector);

 
The view then sets up the various actions. When an action is triggered, it runs
an on... method. For instance onTerminalConnect():
 

CtlTerminal.connectTerminal();

 

That's basically it. The connector handles all the I/O. So if you want to connect a

particular host, you need to configure the connector first. We don't quite have API

for this yet, but people found a way to work around the limitations, see

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=185348

 

I think that for the RSE <-> Terminal Integration project, you'll most probably want

to write your own instance of ITerminalConnector, which hooks up the streams

expected by the Terminal with the RSE's IHostSHell / IHostShellOutputListener.

If you want to get some training before actually doing RSE, you could try to fix

this bug which asks for a connector to the "Local host":

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=196337

 

Thinking again, you'll probably want your view to always be fixed on the RSE
connector only and not able to switch, so this might be proper code:

 

ITerminalConnector rseConnector = new RSETerminalConnector(rseShellSubsystem);

ITerminalViewControl ctlTerminal = TerminalViewControlFactory.makeControl(this, wndParent, { rseConnector });

ctlTerminal.setConnector(rseConnector);

CtlTerminal.connectTerminal();

 

Hope that helps,

 

Cheers,

Hi Martin

in general how do I do to create a org.eclipse.tm.terminal widget? Is there any documentation about it? Can you show me an example to create a new Terminal  (VT100 simulator) and send it a string (command)? I have seen the org.eclipse.tm.terminal but without documentations is not clear.

For example:


VT100Emulator(ITerminalTextData data,ITerminalControlForText terminal,InputStream input)

I suppose "input" is the channel to receive commands (for example SystemIn), but I dont't understand other two fields. Can you explain me?


Thanks and greetings.

Crivelli Francesco

Hello Francesco,
 
It's good to hear that you've mastered the RSE Tutorial, and created some sample
actions.
 
WIth respect to the SWT Shell It looks like there is a misunderstanding. In the
context of SWT, a "Shell" is just any root window. This has nothing to do with
the contents of that window, or with what we understand when talking about a
"remote shell" in the sense of a terminal. Read the Javadocs of SWT Shell for
more insight.
 
Look at what the RSE code does for the action "Launch Shell", see
   SystemCommandAction.RunShellJob
to understand how to programmatically open a View like the Remote Commands
View.
 
Don't try to write into / read from an SWT TextArea. Instead of that TextArea,
you'll want to use the org.eclipse.tm.terminal widget instead. It's similar to a
TextArea, but it will interpret VT100 terminal commands for you. That's the
whole goal of this project -- getting an SWT View hooked up to RSE, that
interprets Terminal control sequences.
 
For managing "SSH-Shells and Telnet-Shells", RSE will do it automatically
for you when you work on an IRemoteCmdSubSystem as you've done.
Depending on how the user configured his connection, the IRemoteCmdSubSystem
will actually run on the IShelLService configured by the user.
 
If you have any more questions, just let me know.
 
Cheers,

Hello Martin,

after have perused the online documentation "RSE developer Guide", these are the things that I have done until now:

1) I have implemented a new plugin (with relatives classes) with the extensions for subsystem, popmenu and property page.

    Some classes are:

        Activator.java that extends "SystemBasePlugin" with methods to manage the file .properties

        PropertyPage.java that extends SystemBasePropertyPage with methods to create buttons, textarea or many other components that I'll include it.

       PopupMenu class, that show Terminal in the "IRemoteFile" connections

Now  a new subsystem doesn't appear yet in the connections for a generic  "Remote Systems View" but my "Raw Terminal" (for now) starts from the choice in the "IRemoteFile" popupmenu (method run(IAction action)  in the PopupMenu class).


2)I have used the "packages org.eclipse.rse.services.shell" and "org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.shells.core" to manage the commands that the user insert into Terminal and I have created some useful classes about it. In particular to execute a generic command I have used the followed code:

.....
            IRemoteCmdSubSystem cmdss = getRemoteCmdSubSystem(); 

            if (cmdss instanceof IShellServiceSubSystem) {

                IShellService shellService = ((IShellServiceSubSystem) cmdss).getShellService();              
                String[] env=shellService.getHostEnvironment();
                String workDir = selectedFile.getAbsolutePath();
                IHostShell hostShell = shellService.launchShell(workDir, env, new NullProgressMonitor());
                hostShell.addOutputListener(new StdOutOutputListener());   // to get the output command
                hostShell.writeToShell("mem");   // a command for example
               
            }
           
  .....

    public class StdOutOutputListener implements IHostShellOutputListener {
            public void shellOutputChanged(IHostShellChangeEvent event) {
                IHostOutput[] lines = event.getLines();
                for (int i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
                        System.out.println(lines[i].getString());
                        shellOut=lines[i].getString();
                        display.asyncExec (new Runnable () {
                              public void run () {
                                 shell.setTextArea(shellOut+"\n");   // shell is my "SWT Terminal View" with a Text to  show the output command and allow insert command
                              }
                           });
                    }
                }
        }
 .....


I have tried to execute a command in a local shell and he works! At this point my question is:

In this way can I execute a generic command in a "generic Remote System View"?

3) After that, in this moment I'm creating the new User Interface Terminal View with SWT libraries. I have created a new SWT shell that extends Shell. For example:

...
Display display = Display.getDefault();
            ExampleShell shell = new ExampleShell(display, SWT.SHELL_TRIM);
            shell.open();
            shell.layout();
            while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
                if (!display.readAndDispatch())
                    display.sleep();
            }
...

this shell-window appears when I click "My Terminal Shell" in the IremoteFile popupmenu. But this window isn't in a "tabbed pane" like old classic "Remote Shell". How do i do to show as tabbed windows my Terminal View?

I allow user to insert command and show its output using the same "textArea". I have thought to place the cursor in the "text Area lenght +1" position and forbidden user to edit character before the (textArea lenght +1) position.  When I  read  the  character with keycode=13 it menas that enter button is pressed than I send the new command  to the methods see above and I show relative output.

Furthermore, how I manage "SSH-Shells and Telnet-Shells" services?

For other questions I'll write you.

Thanks and greetings,

Crivelli Francesco
