Messed up output with Eclipse 2020-09 on Windows
Submitted by Thorsten Schöning on Thu, 2020-09-17 06:44
Something has changed between Eclipse 2020-06 and 2020-09 under Windows when simply using the default built-in terminal, which I guess is most likely "cmd.exe". While output wasn't the best in the past already, with Eclipse 2020-09 it's totally unreadable now. Can't attach a screenshot, though. With 2020-06 it was mostly usable and a great help when dealing e.g. with Gradle, but the output of "gradlew" is completely unreadable now.

Hi Thorsten - the Terminal Project did get a bunch of fixes for 2020-09, it was the first "major" release of the terminal in many years. I am sorry that something has regressed for you and I would appreciate some more information so it can be resolved. Can you file a bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=CDT&component=terminal or if not, send me an email jonah@kichwacoders.com with a screenshot and which release of Windows you are using?
Terminal on Mac OS - colors and characters are messed up
Submitted by Marcus Harringer on Fri, 2020-02-28 02:41
On Mac OS (also before Catalina), we see that colors and fonts are somehow messed up. We've also tried different encodings but also default (UTF-8) shows this issue.
Unfortunately, I cannot add a link or screenshot here
Cygwin and Fonts
Submitted by Missing name Mising name on Sun, 2019-06-23 11:41
I managed to get this working with Cygwin. I didn't use mintty (which caused the shell to open in a new window) but instead executed bash directly.
It is not at all obvious but you can add custom shells by clicking "Add" in the "Show In... Custom Entries" table in the preferences under Terminal/Local Terminal. (Why is this table called "Show in... Custom Entries"? Why not add "Custom Shells" or perhaps "Additional Shells"...)
I used the following config:
There's one problem: you can't really change the font associated with the Terminal. I've tried going to "Fonts and Colors/Terminal" but that only affects the prompt. Everything thing else is printed out using the very ugly default terminal font.
When I press CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-T it asks me which type of Terminal to run. This is kind of annoying. 99% of the time I want to run the same Terminal I ran before, the Cygwin Terminal.
I wish that I could change the title of the 'Terminal' tabs that appear in the Terminal View. They are all named 'hostname', 'hostname (1)', 'hostname (2)'. I also wish I could rename the Terminal View names themselves. They are always 'Terminal', 'Terminal 1' etc.
I wish that the Terminal I opened in Eclipse could inherit Environment Variables from the Eclipse Workspace. It would be awesome if things like JAVA_HOME and ECLIPSE_HOME could be set.
I wish there was some way to save Terminal "session state." Everytime I open up certain workspaces I cd to the same directories and ssh into the same boxen as the same user. I end up having to recreate my "Terminal Workspace" when Eclipse already has a mechanism to persist the last state of my Workspace.
It's a stretch but I do wish I could change the colors. I don't know why but the Terminal is always Green and Black. Maybe this is coming from "Command Prompt"?
That said I really like this plugin. I could always run a separate Terminal program but having everything inside Eclipse is very useful especially when I'm running multiple Eclipses, have terminals open to build stuff, deploy stuff, and even open IRC sessions (cygwin irssi FTW), logged in to remote boxes and more.

Extra characters echoed when typing
Submitted by Bo Stone on Fri, 2018-05-18 12:37
When running in macOS High Sierra v. 10.13.4 using Oxygen eclipse.buildId=4.7.3.M20180330-0640 I'm observing the following:
Prompt seems to start with a tab space. First character typed puts what look like a pipe and every following typed character duplicates the previous one with some garbage in between. For example typing "help" looks like this:
$ | h
$ h'he
$ he'el
$ hel'lp
However if I remove focus from the terminal the typed word shows correctly and if I hit <Enter> the command is properly processed so this is just a display issue
Retina screen?
Submitted by Martin Oberhuber on Thu, 2018-05-24 12:14
Is this on a Retina screen? - See http://eclip.se/475422 for a similar issue we had in the past (but should be resolved as per Oxygen). Did you get the Terminal with your inital Eclipse package, or install it from Marketplace or from the Oxygen Simrel repository?
Gradle output spoiled
Submitted by Markus Pscheidt on Tue, 2018-02-06 08:38
Gradle scripts apparently use special characters to e.g. position the cursor. This spoils the output of Gradle scripts in the TM Terminal.
For example:

Character encoding issue in TM terminal plugin in Eclipse
Submitted by Gunjan Aggarwal on Mon, 2017-08-28 12:31
Hi,
I am using TM Terminal to run a Terminal inside Eclipse. I use it to launch afl-fuzzer inside Eclipse. Somehow character encoding in the Terminal in Eclipse is different from when I run the process in Linux terminal itself outside Eclipse.
I am not able to add screenshots here, so I created a stack overflow post about this issue stackoverflow.com/questions/45923342/character-encoding-in-tm-terminal-plugin-in-eclipse
Please suggest how to fix character encoding in Terminal inside Eclipse.

Newline Handling
Submitted by Steven Johnson on Sat, 2017-04-29 22:47
It appears the serial terminal REQUIRES CR/LF sequences to do a newline.
'\n' Linefeed which is the typical newline for C based systems (Unix and embedded targets) just does a strict linefeed, not a newline. Is there a way to make the serial terminal respect the behaviour of the target and interpret the line ending sequence according to its requirements? Ideally one would be able to choose for a session what Newline sequence is being employed by a target.
using with zsh
Submitted by Sriram Bhami on Sat, 2017-04-08 08:28
Hi, I am trying to use zsh as my terminal on mac. that works. Now when I come to eclipse TM terminal, the zsh configuration is not as it is on zsh. Now I do not know how to reset it back to regular default configuration. Anyone has an idea for using the beautiful zsh color themes in Eclipse TM terminal.
This is how i set it up for my mac using wesbos cobalt2 theme available on github . I was hoping this will come to TM Terminal. But not. In terminal there is a preference to use /bin/bash or /bin/zsh. Can I also somehow bring this colorful zsh into TM terminal ?
Thank you

Question
Submitted by Tianying Zhao on Sat, 2017-03-25 23:42
Hi all, I'm running Scala IDE within Eclipse. I installed a plugin "sbteclipse" through OSX Terminal so that I can manage Scala libraries. When I use command like "$ sbt run " in OSX Terminal, it works fine, but when I use this command in Eclipse Terminal, it tells me "Command not found". How should I solve this problem? Do I need to re-install all the plugins again within TM Terminal?
Thanks
Re: Question
Submitted by Martin Oberhuber on Mon, 2017-03-27 10:27
Most likely, paths from /etc/paths are missing in the environment of the shell that you launch. To get them, go to Eclipse > Preferences, Terminal > Local Terminal and specify "/bin/bash" as program with "--login" as arguments. See also here:

Question

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.

Missing command paths
Submitted by Giovanni Lovato on Thu, 2016-12-15 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 :)
Submitted by Martin Oberhuber on Tue, 2016-12-20 13:02
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.
How about remembering directory upon restart?
Submitted by Markus Pscheidt on Mon, 2016-12-12 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
Submitted by Martin Oberhuber on Tue, 2016-12-20 13:08
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.
I love it!

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!
