Issue
By default projects run in Eclipse that has console output will bring focus to the console window and display the output there.
Eclipse has a Local Terminal
option. Is there a configuration that will activate this as the output destination for a running project?
Before upgrading to Neon I was using an ansi plugin for the console, which isn't installing properly in this current version (ansi-escape-console). While it might be a temporary glitch, now is a good time to learn how to use the Local Terminal
alternative.
I'm trying to have the ansi escape codes displayed in scripts like:
#!/bin/bash
RED='\033[0;31m'
NC='\033[0m'
printf "Hello... ${RED}This is red highlighted text ${NC}.\n"
Update: I was able to get the ANSI Escape in Console
plugin from the Marketplace installed. I still would like to know how to specify the output to the Local Terminal
view as an option.
Solution
There is a difference between the Console view and the Terminal view.
Console View
The console view is a facility for the output of the applications running in IDE of eclipse (for test and debugging).
Terminal View
The Terminal View is a terminal emulator for access to the local computer's shell.
While I wanted to see the Ansi Color output and other escaped sequences of the IDE console running programs, this is done using the Marketplace upgrade of the ANSI Escape on Console plugin.
