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

[Dirk_Baeumer@xxxxxxx]

May be I should add some arguments why I opt for (1) <g>:

- in 95% of the cases there is only one process running so the console view shows the right output anyway.
- having an additional pane in this case is a waste of screen real estate. So I will trun the additional pane off
- if this is the case then switching to a different process takes the following steps
   o make the additional pane visible
   o select the process
   o make the additional pane invisible
- in this scenario option (1) is faster. But I can understand that using the triangle view menu is not the right thing to do.
  May be the console view could so the same as search. The search result view has an additional tool bar button
  to switch between different search result.
- I think having a tool bar button is more consistent with the current UI (at least JDT UI). Look at the search result view,
  and the hierarchy view (last hierarchies),

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
