Re: [platform-debug-dev] Console View

["Darin Wright" <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The debug console is based on a "process model". That is, a process with standard input, error, and output streams. The console displays output from a process' output streams, and writes to the input stream. In the 2.1 release, Ant & External tools use the debug console based on this process model. We are looking to extend console to support non-process models - i.e. clients that simply want to log messages. It sounds like the mechanism you have used may work, but is not the intended way to use the console - as the document you retrieve from the view is arbitrary (i.e. - likely belongs to some other process). The API you are looking for does not yet exist.

I would like to redirect all informational messages generated by my plugin
to Debug's Console View. I was able to do it by getting the Viewer thru the
IDebugView  public interface and then get to the IDocument.    Once I got a
hold of the IDocument, I used the "replace" method to display the text to
the Console view.  Is this the proper/right thing to do for a plugin other
than JDT to display text into the Console View??  I heard that there is a
plan to promote the sharing of the debug console view with Ant, and
potentially other clients.  If such plan exists, what is the status??
