如何将Linux终端输出重定向到Eclipse控制台？

Question

I am trying to redirect Terminal output to Eclipse console using external tools where I specified Terminal path (for example /usr/bin/xterm ). When I run this tool it opens Terminal outside eclipse. When I did same thing in Windows 7, setting external tool location to Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe it ran inside Eclipse console. I wonder how I can make Terminal (in Ubuntu 14.04) work the same way.

You should use /bin/sh as command interpreter.

In Windows, cmd.exe combines two functions—interpreting commands and displaying terminal window. In Unix these functions are strictly separated. /bin/sh interprets commands and /usr/bin/xterm (or /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator ) displays terminal window, inside which it runs /bin/sh (or other shell like /bin/bash , /bin/zsh etc.) to interpret commands.

So if you ask Eclipse to run something via /usr/bin/xterm , it will appear in a new window, because that's what XTerm does. If you just want Eclipse to capture the output, ask it to run it directly via /bin/sh .
