[ptp-dev] Routing PE plugin stderr output to Eclipse view

[Dave Wootton <dwootton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm looking at changes to my PE plugin to route stderr output generated by 
the application run by the user to an Eclipse view. Does it make sense to 
use the Eclipse console view as the target for the stderr output rather 
than implementing a new view to display the output? I think this would be 
sufficient for my purposes, where the intent is to send whatever the 
application writes to stderr to a view it is not lost.

It looks like I can get a console to write to by getting the console 
plugin object via ConsolePlugin.getDefault(), calling getConsoleManager() 
on that object then calling getConsoles() to get a list of consoles and 
picking the first console that is an instance of IOConsole. If there is no 
instance of IOConsole, I have to create one and add it to the consoles 
managed by the ConsoleManager object. Does this make sense?
