Re: [platform-debug-dev] Console 'hijacked' by the debug process

[Darin Swanson <Darin_Swanson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In 2.1, the Console provides a dropdown toolbar action that allows the user to select the process to display the output for.
On switching back to the Web perspective, the user could pick the web server process to display its output.

Some of our users came across the following problem:

They use Web perspective to do their web development that typically fires
up
a Web Server, which in turn makes a use of the Console view.

At some point, they need to switch to the debug perspective in order to
debug
their native code (or even server Java code). Debug session takes the
console
over. When debug session completes, debug engine still shows up in the
Debug
view as 'terminated'. Console is still associated with that debug session.

Now, they switch back to the Web perspective, yet Console view does not get
automatically re-associated with their web server process. Since Web
perspective
has no Debug view, they have no easy way to get their output.
I think this is quite confusing, especially to those users who do not use
debugger
very frequently.

I was wondering if there is any API that will allow to 'release' console
once debug
process completes, or when web server is selected in a view other than
Debug.
