    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17686?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13071200#comment-13071200 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-17686:
-------------------------------------

The old and new are there because  org.eclipse.tm.terminal/plugins/org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view.ui/plugin.xml  contains the following xml:
{code}

      <view
            allowMultiple="true"
            category="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view.ui.views.category"
            class="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view.ui.view.TerminalsView"
            icon="icons/eview16/terminal_view.gif"
            id="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view.ui.TerminalsView"
            name="%TerminalsView.name">
      </view>

      <!-- Contribute another view with the old ID to handle the ID change -->
      <view
            allowMultiple="true"
            class="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view.ui.view.OldTerminalsViewHandler"
            icon="icons/eview16/terminal_view.gif"
            id="org.eclipse.tcf.te.ui.terminals.TerminalsView"
            name="%TerminalsView.name.old">
      </view>
{code}

ie,  the single plugin declaring the new view has (for now) left the old view in as well. I would suspect they have plans to remove it before GA, and I can look into that for you I guess.

> luna has new Eclipse TCF terminal that brings better Terminal support.
> I would assume it is in there but I couldn't find a way to actually open it. Maybe we havent included the full set of plugins.
