- id - specifies a unique identifier for this console color provider.
- class - specifies a fully qualified name of a Java class that implements IConsoleColorProvider
- processType - specifies the type of process this color provider is for. This attribute corresponds to the process attribute IProcess.ATTR_PROCESS_TYPE.

###### Examples:

The following is an example of a console color provider extension point:

    <extension point="org.eclipse.debug.ui.consoleColorProviders">
      <consoleColorProvider
         id="com.example.ExampleConsoleColorProvider"
         class="com.example.ExampleConsoleColorProvider"
         processType="ExampleProcessType">
      </consoleColorProvider>
    </extension>

In the above example, the contributed color provider will be used for processes of type "ExampleProcessType", which corresponds to the process attribute IProcess.ATTR_PROCESS_TYPE. Process types are client defined, and are set by clients that create processes.
