[che-dev] creating a terminal programatically with stdin support

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been looking at how I can create a terminal/console attached to arbitrary input/output in Che. 

Are there such examples already in the code? Or do I need to create a new view. 

Specifically I am trying to create a debug console to connect to the virtual channel of a debugger. This channel may be either provided by Input and Output streams in Java, or in some cases may be a pty.

I have examined the implementation of the Terminal, but I have not found how to use it in a general purpose way. I have also looked at how Commands are run, but the consoles they create are output only.

As a point of comparison, I am looking for the equivalent to the Console feature in Eclipse, or the Debug Console in VS Code.

Thanks,

Jonah
