How to Implement Console View in Pure Eclipse 4 RCP

Question

I have created a part in e4xmi which should act like a console view. How to make this part as a console like view.

Answer 1

There is no support for a console view or launching programs in a pure e4 RCP so you are going to have to craft everything yourself.

If you are using ProcessBuilder or Runtime.exec to launch a program you just need to set up threads to read the output of the program and send it to a part.

The part could use something like the JFace SourceViewer to display the output.
