The location of the build console in cdt.ui prevents better integration of the console with other build components. This task is a blocker for bug 297222, and I've run into it before on a few occasions too. Currently the console classes are located in internal packages of cdt.ui. The suggested location is org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui so it would be accessible in other build plugins.
I posted this request to cdt-dev development list. There were a few responses which I compiled below. Basically, this bug is stalled since there was no agreement but clear disagreement to proceed with that.

I disagree that it should be moved.

It would be breakage but we can have 8.0 not 7.1. see also bug 297222 where I post responses referring to its functionality.
