Answer 1

This link provides all the details regarding the new console which is based on Apache Felix Gogo shell: http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fconsole_shell.htm

In short steps are:

1. Place the necessary bundles in a folder. The bundles are:

   • org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.8.0v.jar
   • org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.8.0v.jar
   • org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.8.0v.jar
   • org.eclipse.equinox.console_1.0.0v.jar
   • org.eclipse.osgi.jar

2. Create a configuration subfolder put a new config.ini file in it with the following content:

   osgi.bundles=./org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.8.0v.jar@start,\
   ./org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.8.0v.jar@start,\
   ./org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.8.0v.jar@start,\
   ./org.eclipse.equinox.console.jar@start,\
   osgi.console.enable.builtin=false
   osgi.console= 
   

3. Start the Equinox framework with this command:

   java -jar org.eclipse.osgi.jar
