Click stacktrace in eclipse's external tools

Question

I'm using Eclipse's external tools functionality to launch my test server (I can't use the normal servers view for it since it's not supported).

That works fine, but it's a bit sad that I can't click the stacktraces to automatically jump to that line in the code (as you could normally do). I always thought eclipse's console automatically recognized lines of code.

Is there any way to make it do that for external tools?

Thanks

You can copy the stack trace to a Java Stack Trace console. In the Console, switch to a new Java Stack Trace console, paste the stack trace and it will be immediately clickable.

Also, check out the LogViewer plugin, as far as I can recall, it can do that with less effort
