Description Jaroslav Tulach 2001-09-20 10:37:41 UTC

I always missed a functionality to print thread dump of java process when the
output goes to output window. When terminal emulator was introduced I hoped that
situation improves but it does not seeem so.

When running java process from console you can press Ctrl+\ on UNIXes to print
stack traces of all threads and Ctrl+Break on windows. 

So I tried it in output window and it does not seemed to work. Could this be
enhanced?

Comment 1 Petr Nejedly 2001-09-20 10:54:24 UTC

IMO couldn't.
The reason is simple, the functionality is provided by UNIX
virtual console kernel driver which intercepts the Ctrl+\
and sends a signal to the process owning the console.
You can't send signals from Java and sending the control code for
Ctrl+\ won't help because it's stream, not VT in this case.
Anyway, ccing Trung as an experienced hacker to check my statement :-)
