opening DOS prompt from folder [message #171017]

Hello,

1.

I am running the latest version of eclipse.
Is it possible to configure it so that on
package explorer I can right click on a
folder and select Command Prompt just
like can be done on the Win2K desktop.
This would open up a command prompt
with current directory set to the
selected folder. I really need
this functionality.

2.
Can I configure what happens when
build is selected. I currently have
simply imported files from file system
and the build menu option appears grayed
out. However, I would like to be able to
select it and have make run in a specific
filesystem directory with certain environment
variables selected, and would like to see the
output. How can I configure this?

Thanks,

JG

John,

1. No, this feature is not included in Eclipse. You may be able to
write a plug-in to add this feature to your version of Eclipse.

2. By default, Eclipse uses its own internal compiler, and it compiles
your source every time the source is saved or the build path changes.
If you have more involved build requirements, you can use an Ant script
to build your project. The Eclipse documentation has information about
using Ant for your builds.

Hope this helps,
- Jeff

There is a plugin named EasyShell that does exactly this. Google should
be able to find it for you.
