[news.eclipse.tools] Re: external tool, click on errors with line number

["Darin Swanson" <Darin_Swanson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

You will need to extend the org.eclipse.debug.ui.consoleLineTrackers
extension point in your own plugin.

The org.eclipse.ui.externaltools plugin provides two examples: the
javacLineTracker and the taskLineTracker.
You will ant to register your consoleLineTracker for the name of your
external program (see ProgramLaunchDelegate if interested).
So for example:
<consoleLineTracker

id = "robs.cool.nant.errorLineTracker"

class = "org.rob.nant.ErrorLineTracker"

processType = "NAnt">

</consoleLineTracker>

This assumes that the name of the external tool you run is called NAnt.
