| <p>Application programming interfaces for interaction |

| |
| <h2>Package Specification</h2> |
| |
| <p>The Eclipse platform UI console plug-in provides a set of classes and interfaces to |
| support a generic console. This package contains a generic abstract console that provides the common functionality |
| for consoles. Clients implementing consoles should subclass this <b>AbstractConsole</b>.</p> |
| <p>The classes <b>MessageConsole</b> and <b>MessageConsoleStream</b> provide an |
| implementation of a message console and message console stream that enables |
| logging of messages to a console.</p> |
| <p>A console manager (<b>IConsoleManager</b>) manages all active consoles, and |
| provides notification of consoles which are added and removed. Consoles are |
| displayed in a page book view. Each console implementation is reponsible for |
| creating its page (<b>IPageBookView</b>), which provides freedom of presentation |
| to the console implementation. A single console may be displayed simultaneously |
| in multiple console views, in different workbench windows.</p> |
