public interface IConsoleFactory
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.
