[news.eclipse.dsdp.tm] Programatically creating a telnet connection?

[john.moule@xxxxxx (John Moule)]

Hi,

I'd like to programmatically create a telnet session, supplying the host 
and port as parameters, which opens in a Terminal view.

I've read a previous post (sorry couldn't figure how to reply to that 
thread):

 Programatically creating a connection?
 http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.dsdp.tm/msg00229.html

and followed the bug:

 Need API to programmatically open the terminal for a specified connection
 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=185348

I've downloaded TM-terminal-3.0.3.zip and studied the 
org.eclipse.tm.terminal, but am now totally confused as to the API I 
should use to proceed.

Please can anyone provide a short snippet of how I could get started with 
this.

Also I'm confused about the version numbering of org.eclipse.tm.terminal - 
as I said I downloaded (from 
http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/downloads/drops/R-3.0.3-200902181300/) 
TM-terminal-3.0.3.zip, but this expands to plugins with versions starting 
"2" (eg: org.eclipse.tm.terminal_2.0.3.v200902181600.jar).

Any help gratefully received.

Cheers john
