Hi,

I wasn't really sure where to ask this question, so...

I'm running Eclipse 3.7.1 on a Linux (SLES10) system. When I open the context menu on a directory in the package explorer and select "Explore Files" I don't get a directory browser and instead I see:

Exception in thread "Launching - " java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
        at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:444)
        at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:593)
        at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:466)
        at com.aptana.ide.pathtools.CommandLauncher$1.run(CommandLauncher.java:46)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

That would seem to indicate that there's nothing defined for exploring files. Is there a specific file explorer that I need? And how do I tell Eclipse what to use?

Thanks,

Rob

Are you sure this is an Eclipse contributed menu item. I'm not familiar with this item and the stack trace seems to indicate that it might be a feature provided by aptana.com.

Hi David,

I have the same menu item on Mac (where I'm running Eclipse 3.7.0) and it works fine. I believe it ends up calling Finder. I do have Aptana installed (well, really RadRails) and I don't know if the item was there before or not. I just recently starting using it on my Mac and wanted to use it on Linux, but, like I said, it doesn't appear to work.
