Exception due to incomplete install ?
Submitted by Martin Oberhuber on Fri, 04/17/2015 - 07:09
In reply to Exception in vanilla Eclipse Luna SR2 by Jörg Hohwiller
Hello Jörg, as per your log "org.eclipse.tcf.te.ui.terminals_1.2.0.201405271222" is way too old, so I suspect you created an inconsistent install somehow. The Terminal works fine on top of Luna SR2 JEE, but you need to install it from this Marketplace Listing. Only then will you get the TCF updates from the Mars Stream that Terminal needs to function.
The Update Site as per the download button is currently http://download.eclipse.org/tools/tcf/terminals_lunasr2

I do not understand why you are using a standard key-binding that is already in use by eclipse (JDT).
Please consider a different default to avoid clashes. All Java developers are used to [ctrl][alt][t] opening the "open type" popup.

Hello Jörg, the default binding for JDT "Open Type" is [ctrl][shift][t] -- our bindings with [ctrl][alt] are usually unbound.
Perhaps you've been using a custom configuration, or your host has been remapping modifiers in a nonstandard way ?

Another thing is: Why reinventing a new terminal view? Would be nice to integrate the host terminal within the eclipse view. For example, when opening a word-document within eclipse, then a new window opens with the associated host application within eclipse. How can I make this work with the terminal on mac os? I want to have the host terminal of mac os within the eclipse-window, so I have not switch from one app to another.
How exactly did you install ?

In reply to java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/cdt/utils/pty/PTY$Mo by nimo mayr
Hello Nimo,
Your backtrace seems to indicate a missing CDT Fragment. Which Eclipse Luna SR2 package did you start from, and how, exactly, did you install ? - Only installing from the Marketplace Repo is supported at this time and ensures all dependencies are there:
http://download.eclipse.org/tm/terminal/marketplace
For follow-up on your issue, please file a bug at http://eclip.se/4a
Regarding the suggestion to embed the native terminal, I'm afraid that native terminals generally don't support the OLE / DDE APIs that Word has for these kind of things. But we hope that you'll like our integrated Terminal too :)

Hi Johan,
many thanks for your feedback. I think your request is a known issue, as of today the custom shells only affect the rightclick > Show In menu which makes them a bit hard to use. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=460496 and check whether the proposal matches your needs.

Use Preferences : Terminal : Invert Colors
Submitted by Martin Oberhuber on Fri, 05/22/2015 - 05:42
In reply to background colors by Stefan Berger
Hi Stefan, you can switch to a "Dark Terminal" by using "Preferences : Terminal : Invert Colors".
It should also work automatically when you choose "Preferences : Appearance : Theme : Dark", but it seems that got broken with the recent TM 4.0 Refactoring. I've filed https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=467985 for that issue.
Excellent plugin!
Submitted by John Daniel on Tue, 07/14/2015 - 13:29
Martin - Great work here. Really liking this plugin.
Quick question: Is there a way that I can configure the plugin to stretch the width of the terminal screen to match the Eclipse View width? Right now, the terminal allows me to type commands on the first 80 characters and then it wraps (to the front of the same line... ugh). Ideally, what I am looking for is a setting that will allow the terminal to use all of the columns displayed available by the width of the enclosing Eclipse View panel ...~200 characters or more. Is this possible? Thanks for the info. Cheers!

Hi John, auto-resizing to width of the Eclipse view works fine for me on Linux and Windows local, as well as SSH.
What is your host OS, and what is your terminal connector ? - I suggest filing a bug for what you see. On Linux, typing "resize" in the Terminal may print interesting information.

Is there anyway to acces the Eclipse Variables (such us LOC_WORKSPACE, ...) trough the shell/local terminal opened by Eclipse??

Yes, environment variables

Yes, environment variables ECLIPSE_HOME and ECLIPSE_WORKSPACE are set for you automatically in the "Local Terminal".
Other variables are not exposed by default, but I think that writing code to expose them should not be too hard if you search the existing source code for the string ECLIPSE_WORKSPACE.
Nice Work!

Hello. I was wondering if you can start a terminal from a run configuration and pass arguments to make a connection?
No Launch Integration (yet)

Hi Robert, we don't have an integration of Terminal with the Launch Configuration / External Tool Launches as of today. The older RSE Terminal did have that a couple years ago, so maybe some code could be re-used; contributions would be welcome, ideally by first filing an enhancement request on bugzilla to discuss the details :)
Nice and Excellent ~

Hi~ Martin!
Thanks for your effort for this great Terminal in Eclipse.
One thing I want is the feature of changing background color for Terminal.
Thanks Harry :) You can

Thanks Harry :) You can invert the Terminal colors in Preferences > Terminal to get a black background. That's also set automatically with Dark Theme. Setting "any" background color would not quite feel right to me, since the remote side really requests colors through ANSI codes ... on the other hand, the request has come a couple times, so we'd appreciate a contribution along these lines.

As a workaround, you can echo escape sequences on the remote - for details (or contributions) see here:

Great Plugin!

Thank you very much for your effort in implementing this great terminal.
Regarding the "auto connecting previous sessions" feature - is it possible to disable it? I would like all sessions to close as soon as I terminate eclipse.
Thank you!
Turning off auto-reconnect

Turning off auto-reconnect isn't possible today, but shouldn't be hard to add. Would you mind filing a Bugzilla Enhancement Request as a start ?
Can't open new terminal window
Submitted by Paul Steneram Bibby on Wed, 07/06/2016 - 09:18
Hello!
I've been using the TM Terminal for a while now, and I've been very pleased with it.
Now however, for some reason, I can no longer open new terminal windows. I can see the Terminal View, but when I click on "Open a Terminal" and select "Local Terminal" and Encoding: "UTF-8", and then click on OK... nothing happens. The Terminal View remains gray.
This used to work. I've tried reinstalling it, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated!
Regards
Paul

What is your host OS (Windows 10? Any updates done recently?)
Great! But why can't I use certain same commands?
Submitted by Doug Beney on Thu, 07/07/2016 - 15:33
Hello,
Hope this isn't a stupid question. I'm using this plugin inside of Nodeclipse/Enide Studio.
The basic commands work in your terminal plugin (cd, ls, etc), but why can't I run commands such as "node app.js" or anything like that?
You should have it all. Maybe

You should have it all. Maybe you just need to close and open Eclipse after you installed Node.js

How to open Terminal from Custom server view.
Submitted by abhishek S on Wed, 07/20/2016 - 03:13
In my server view, I have some custom remote servers. I want to add same Terminal feature to it through context menu. Can you please share the core API through which if I provide host,username,password,directory then the API opens the Terminal View for given details.
Thanks
See the RSE plugin for example

What you want to do sounds similar to the Terminal's menu extension for RSE. See the code here:

Set $PATH before launching Eclipse

Hi Akil, you should set your PATH before launching Eclipse. If you have a use-case where that is not sufficient, please file an enhancement request on bugzilla.
I love it!

I switched from netbeans to eclipse because of a serious netbeans bug and this was the missing link which keeps me from switching back!
Btw. the link to the support page is 404
Don't be afraid, i don't need support for it;)
Thanks for this really handy tool.
Thanks for the kind words :)

How about remembering directory upon restart?
Submitted by Markus Pscheidt on Mon, 12/12/2016 - 04:18
The plugin is useful and makes life easier. Thanks!
When restarting Eclipse, the current directory is lost. Any chance that open terminal windows could remember the current directory when closing Eclipse and "cd" to the same directory upon restart?
This would be non-trivial

In reply to How about remembering directory upon restart? by Markus Pscheidt
I'm afraid it is non-trivial listening to an arbitrary remote system to determine what the current directory actually is. Keep in mind that there could be symbolic links, relative paths, or actually a different program running on the remote that doesn't behave like a shell at all.
That said, we would be open to contributions along these lines, please create a bugzilla enhancement request if you're interested.
Missing command paths
Submitted by Giovanni Lovato on Thu, 12/15/2016 - 03:08
On Mac OS X the terminal is missing `PATH`s, which are listed in `/etc/paths`. An option to open a login shell would be useful to workaround this, since running `bash -l` works.
Yup, there's a Preference for this :)

In reply to Missing command paths by Giovanni Lovato
To get what you want, use Preferences > Terminal > Local Terminal , and specify "Arguments" as --login
Arguably on Mac OSX, this could perhaps be the default... on Linux I'm not so sure since users may launch Eclipse from an environment already preset with the PATH they desire.
Question
Submitted by Maciej Bielinski on Wed, 01/11/2017 - 03:03
Cool and useful plugin!
Anyway i have a question about it. Is there a way to open a TM terminal with environment variables set and command executed (for example running a debug-server)? Is there a way to run this kind of a 'running configuration'? I am trying to add a button for this but I don't where to start searching for the solution.
Greetings,
