[eclipse-dev] Suggestion for Enhancement of Console View
|
Hi List....
I have a suggestion for the "console view" in Eclipse platform. I know
that this should be entered as a bug report for enhancement, but wanted
to discuss with the list first.
The enhancement suggestion is like this...
The console view is currently used to view the output of any program. It
acts a pseudo input/output stream for the terminal, but that is too
limited.
There are some editors which provide a complete simulated command
prompt. So to RUN an external tool / command the user types in the
commands on the console view and the command is passed to the OS shell
for execution. The output is shown in the console view.
The only thing missing with Eclipse platform is that the user can not
execute a command by typing in the console view. He has to configure the
external tool in the Run menu and only from there s/he can execute the
command.
It would be really nice to type in the command in console view and
execute it from there. So no one has to configure small, rarely used
external tools.
Any suggestions
With Regards

P.S. This type of simulated command prompt is shown by "Scintilla Text
Editor"
