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.
