A console factory extension is responsible for opening a console in the console view.
Extensions appear on a menu in the console view, and their openConsole
method is called when the action is invoked. Implementations may choose to open a new
console or activate an existing console. The extension point used to contribute a
console factory is org.eclipse.ui.console.consoleFactories
.
Following is an example console factory extension.
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.console.consoleFactories"> <consoleFactory label="Command Console" icon="icons\cmd_console.gif" class="com.example.CommandConsoleFactory"> </consoleFactory> </extension>An action appears in the console view's 'Open Console' drop-down menu with the corresponding
label
and optional icon
. When the action
is invoked, the specified class
is instantiated and called to
open a console, via the method openConsole()
.
Clients providing console factory extensions are intended to implement this interface.
