Console Bundle

The Console Bundle gives a simple local console for administration of the ProSyst mBS. It provides refined input and output streams, while the actual work of the command management and execution is done by the Parser Service from the ProSyst Util Bundle

Bundle Information

Bundle JAR

The bundle JAR file of the Console Bundle is called console.jar, and is found in the bundles folder.

Import

The Console Bundle imports the following packages:

Package	Exporter	Description
`com.prosyst.util.time`	System Bundle / ProSyst Util Full Bundle	The time utility for high-resolution time measurement.
`com.prosyst.util.ref`	ProSyst Util Bundle / ProSyst Util Full Bundle	Holds the log utilities of the ProSyst Util Bundle. The Console Bundle employs them to store log messages about its runtime status.
`com.prosyst.util.parser`	ProSyst Util Bundle / ProSyst Util Full Bundle	Wraps the Parser Service, that keeps string commands for the framework local console and Telnet.

Export

System Properties

The Console Bundle supports the following system properties:

mbs.output.charscount - You can use it to specify the line size of the standard output.
mbs.console.readFix - This property represents a workaround of Eclipse console problem, thus it make sense only when you are running the mBS framework over Eclipse SDK. Turn this property to true when using the mBS framework for all Eclipse SDK versions compatible with ProSyst OSGi Plugin.

Tip: To learn more about using system properties in the mBS framework, refer to the System Properties document from Getting Started.

Troubleshooting

If the device running the framework does not have a local console, or read() or readLine() of System.in is implemented to always return -1, the Console Bundle is not necessary to be installed.
