[news.eclipse.platform] Filters & colors in Eclipse Console

["Jarod Mills" <j4r0d@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,


I have created a working Eclipse plugin which implements the 
org.eclipse.debug.core.launchConfigurationTypes extension.
It works fine and I can run my customized java projects using the Run menu. 
The eclipse console appears and everythings works fine. However, the output 
logs from the JVM uses some sort of ANSI escape codes. I've been looking for 
any useful extension point in the Eclipse API for parsing and enhancing the 
color support without success. (org.eclipse.debug.ui.consoleColorProviders 
can only change the color for standard streams and 
org.eclipse.debug.ui.consoleLineTrackers cannot be used to send strings back 
to the console)

I need to filter the outputs of the JVM so I can substitute the escape codes 
and then I need a way to colorize the output of the console.

It seems this cannot be done simply... do you know some possible workaround 
for this problem?

Is it possible to subclass and then substitute the ProcessConsole easily 
from the debug plugin? Any ideas?


Thanks for your help.

J.
