Abstract
An approach is provided that registers a component plug-in with a console application. A request is received from a user of the console application. The console application displays a console user interface in a predetermined interface style. The console application detects that the request corresponds to the component plug-in and sends an initial request to the component plug-in. The console application receives an initial model of an initial user interface from the component plug-in and this model is provided to the user in response to the initial request. The console application builds an initial component user interface based on the received initial model. The initial component user interface is also consistent with the predetermined interface style. The console application displays the initial component user interface and the console user interface in a common application window in the predetermined interface style.
