Package Specification

The Eclipse platform UI console plug-in provides a set of classes and interfaces to support a generic console. This package contains a generic abstract console that provides the common functionality for consoles. Clients implementing consoles should subclass this AbstractConsole.

The classes MessageConsole and MessageConsoleStream provide an implementation of a message console and message console stream that enables logging of messages to a console.

A console manager (IConsoleManager) manages all active consoles, and provides notification of consoles which are added and removed. Consoles are displayed in a page book view. Each console implementation is reponsible for creating its page (IPageBookView), which provides freedom of presentation to the console implementation. A single console may be displayed simultaneously in multiple console views, in different workbench windows.
