Opening windows exporer for a directory [message #243260]

Hello all - i have a seemingly dumb question. Is it possible to have
eclipse automatically open up a windows folder to the current folder.

to be a bit more clear:

lets say my project resides in c:\workspace\proj1

and in my project i create a new folder to store some configuration files
called "config"

now this folder [directory] is at the system level
c:\workspace\proj1\config

is there some way to have eclipse spawn the same window if i went to
start->run->"c:\workspace\proj1\config"

??? Could be useful, since i know with any other file i can right click
and select "open with" say if i want to view a text file with an external
editor. just wondering if there is some directory functionality like that

thanks.

There are a couple of plugins that open wither a command-prompt or a
Windows File Explorer window on any directory from within Eclipse. They
are called EasyShell (http://pluginbox.sourceforge.net/plugins.html) and
EasyExplore (http://easystruts.sourceforge.net/#easyexplore)

Hope this helps,
Eric
