If the plan is to replace the internal console with a bundle-supplied
console (e.g. GoGo; and I think this is a fine plan), then I think the
-console argument either needs to be deprecated (and now would be a great
time to put people on notice) or we need to plan for the -console argument
to ev
IMHO the bar for Indigo is pretty low. We need to make sure that Gogo can run
properly on Equinox. All servicability extension work can be focused on using
Gogo. Having a way to disable the current console would be interesting but not
essential. Don't want the console? don't put -console on
This is the kind of thing I want to address for 3.7 to enable the use of
bundles on top of the framework to provide the console. Ideally this would
involve a way to configure the framework so that the -console option just
did what you need to get your bundles started as well as completely
disablin
For the extraction of the console in a separate bundle there is a bug opened:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=169603
and a patch is provided there.
One of the reasons for considering the moving of the console out of the
framework is that adding new features to the console while it i
We also must consider the amount of work it would take to extract the
console out and test it properly. I am reluctant to do any of that work
when we want to eventually replace the console implementation with the gogo
shell and a bundle that bridges the old equinox command implementations to

The disadvantage is usability. Right now you get equinox and run with -console
and its all good. If we break it out you'll have to get two bundles and make
sure that the console bundle is started...
We have thought about shipping two setups, one with the console and one
without. That might w

Orbit is about maintaining bundles for third party code that eclipse projects
use. We already have cases where the co
