Launching and consoles [message #329844]

Dear community,

I'm working on a plug-in with a launch configuration that starts an
external compiler. The output of the compiler is displayed in a console.
This works by calling the following in my custom
ILaunchConfigurationDelegate implementation:

DebugPlugin.newProcess(launch, process, Utilities.join(commandList, " "));

What I don't know: What console does the debug plug-in use to display
the output of the process? How can I tell it to create a special console
of a specific type for this?

I think I need this because I want to decorate the console output with
hyperlinks using the extension point
org.eclipse.ui.console.consolePatternMatchListeners.

Thanks in advance
Kilian

Put the returned IProcess into something like this:
private void attachNewConsole(IProcess process) {
IStreamListener toConsole = new FerryProcessIOToConsole();
process.getStreamsProxy().getErrorStreamMonitor().addListene r(toConsole);
process.getStreamsProxy().getOutputStreamMonitor().addListen er(toConsole);
}

Thanks!

As to what kind of console to attach, it's a pity that the
ProcessConsole is not part of the public API.
