[jdt-debug-dev] Re: [jdt-ui-dev] Input needed on change to ConsoleView

[Darin_Wright@xxxxxxx]

I think there is another issue here...

If we are using approach (1) - a drop down menu similar to the search view history, then we need to determine how this interacts with the debug view. That is, if I explicitly set the process to view in the console, and then change my selection in the debug view, who wins? Do we need a way to "pin" the input to the console?

Using approach (2), this is not an issue, as the selection is either controlled from the hideable process view, or the debug view - whichever is present. (However, approach (2) feels heavy-weight).

Pertaining to Bug 7715 
http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7715 

We are looking at ways to allow the user to select the process whose output will be displayed in the Console. 

The options are:

(1) Triangle view menu gives access to all processes (similar to search history)
(2) A hideable process list, with configurable split pane (vertical/horizontal) 

Anyone who interested please indicate your preference. 

Thanks
