Interface IConsolePageParticipant

All Superinterfaces:
IAdaptable
public interface IConsolePageParticipant extends IAdaptable
A console page participant is notified of page lifecycle events such as creation, activation, deactivation and disposal. A page participant can also provide adapters for a page. Participants are contributed via the org.eclipse.ui.console.consolePageParticipants extension point.

Participant behavior is implementation dependent. For example, a page participant could add actions to a console's toolbar by accessing a its page's action bars.

Following is an example extension definition. 

 <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.console.consolePageParticipants">
   <consolePageParticipant
      id="com.example.ExamplePageParticipant"
      class="com.example.ExamplePageParticipant">
   </consolePageParticipant>
 </extension>
The example page participant is contributed to all console pages. An optional enablement attribute may be specified to control which consoles a page participant is applicable to.

Clients contributing console page participant extensions are intended to implement this interface.
