Introduction

This class handles the output of messages to the output tabs within the platform. Is meant to be used as a library by other modules.

This plug-in is also available as a Maven artifact.

SnapShots in SonaType

Releases in Maven Central Repository.

Notes:

  • Version 1.5.1 is 1.5 converted to a Maven project. No functional changes were done.
  • Version 1.3 is the last version for 7.0.1 due to internal changes in the platform. 1.4 is 1.3 recompiled for 7.1.
  • Version 1.5 is 1.4 recompiled for 7.1.

Examples:

Open an output window: 

OutputHandler.output("Window name", "Message", Color.Black);

Create an input monitor: 

InputMonitor monitor = OutputHandler.createMonitor(tabName, 1000);

//Create a monitor for the tab. This enables input in the tab as well.
InputMonitor monitor = OutputHandler.createMonitor(tabName, 1000);
//Add a listener to be notified.
monitor.addListener(new ReaderListener());
The ReadListener only needs to implement a read(String) method. For example: 
public class PrivateChatMonitor implements ReaderListener {

    public PrivateChatMonitor() {
    }

    @Override
    public void read(String read) {
        //Do something with what was typed in the tab.
    }
}

Re: Re: Latest version incompatible with NB7.0.1

Hi,
could you cancel your NB 7.0 verification request ?
This version can't be installed on NB 7.0.1. I'd like to avoid a NOGO (it would automatically create a bug entry in NB bugzilla).

Thank you for your understanding.


PS : since the 7.0.1 version cannot be validated, the 1.2 version of your plugin is still available in NB 7.0.x Update Center (the 1.4 version is available in NB 7.1.x Update Center).
You can safely cancel your 7.0 verif. request.

The only way to maintain a NB x.y specific version of a plugin seems to create an other plugin page in the plugin Portal.

Re: Latest version incompatible with NB7.0.1

As stated above 1.3 is the last version working on 7.0.X. Unless there's a way to publish one version for one NetBeans release and another to 7.1+ please let me know so I can delete the verification request on 7.0.

Released 1.5 to make it compatible with 7.1.1

It should be available soon when the plugin is verified.

Try 1.3

1.4 Makes it only work on 7.1 not below due to platform module changes. Sorry.

1.3 is exactly the same. 1.4 is just recompiled to work on 7.1.

If you want I can make a branch for 7.0 support. I didn't because I have no feedback so I'm not sure if anyone uses the plugin besides me. I'm glad I was wrong :P
