+### Support for launching a run inside a Terminal session
+
+When launching a run in Eclipse one can currently choose to allocate a console for input/output
+and since a while we also support ANSI color codes there what makes integration of console applications
+that use color output possible.
+
+But for the input side and more advanced features like text base user interfaces this still does not work
+well as these applications require a so called [pseudo terminal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoterminal)
+together with a [terminal emulator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_emulator) to behave as if it was
+executed on native command prompt.
+
+While the [VT100 terminal emulator}(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VT100) was already added the in the last release,
+there was still the need to start the application in a terminal session what is now available when launching a run from
+inside Eclipse as well!
+
+This is currently preliminary support and we would like to get feedback, so don't hesitate to [open a bug report](https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform/issues)
+if something is missing or not working as expected, this can be enabled in the following way:
+
+- Download the latest integration build SDK [here](https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/)
+- Go to "Install new Software" and add the site https://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/12.1/cdt-12.1.0/ then select 'Terminal (Console) View' and 'TM Terminal Local Connector Extension'
+- Now in the toolbar choose the 'Open a Terminal' icon and make sure the Terminal View works for your platform
+- Go to "Install new Software" and add the site https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.37-I-builds/ then select '...'
+
+Now the terminal console support is installed and you can use it. You can install m2e PDE support from https://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/latest/ and
+then use this [example project](images/test.terminal.zip):
+
+- open the console.target and set it as active target platform
+- open the console.product and start it, you will see a warning and some garbled characters
+- go to the launch configuration and then open the tab 'common' and choose 'Allocate Terminal'
+- run it again and you will get colors and autocompletion using `<tab>`
