System console in plugin [message #312718]

I have a Java program that writes to System.out. When I run this as a
project in Eclipse the output displays in the console view but when I run
this program as a plugin the console output stream does not appear in the
console view.

Can anyone suggest how to make System.out available to the plugin and how
to map it to an Eclipse Console view?

BTW, FireFox 2.0 seems to have some problems with that link; clicking on it
seems to turn the %3F into a ? prematurely, and that character then fails to
resolve so I end up at a page with no text. (I suspect this is a bug in
FireFox.)

If that happens in your browser, just delete the ? and replace it with %3F,
and then refresh.

Strange, because I use Firefox2.0 and copied the link from it!

Thanks. This is great. Is there any way to map the predefined System.out
PrintStream to the MessageStream opened in the example, or do I have to
change the original source code to write to a passed message stream?

Change the source code, I'm afraid. I've added a utility class with static
methods, so I can do this from any of my plugins.
