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.
