Hi guys,

I am new to EasyShell, and I could not find a way to add my google cloud sdk shell (run as administrator) to this plugin. Please help if you know a way. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi! I use Easy Shell a lot. Very good and useful tool. One improvemnet I would like is if I right-click a java klass, I would like to have an option to get the path like "com.mysite.subclass.MyClassName" in the clipboard..

Submitted by Alex L on Tue, 07/09/2013 - 04:42

A very nice and useful plugin. I have 2 suggestions though:
1. the ability to select which of the 4 options to be visible (for example, show only "Open" and "Explore", and hide the others, for people who use only some of these actions)
2. the ability to put the items in the main menu not in the "Easy Shell" sub-menu, for even quicker access.
Thanks!

I've just installed EasyShell in Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) and it works well. The specifications say that this extension works with Eclipse versions 3.2-3.7, but it actually is compatible with later versions, too.

Keep in mind that when using with Mac OS X, some of the shell commands need to be changed from the defaults. For example:

  • Explore command: open {1}
  • Copy Path string: {2}

I've created a bug report:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3545857&group_id=99802…

If the project's root folder contains spaces EasyShell fail to open a shell in the right folder.
For instance, if the Project's root folder is, say, "My Project - Core" and I right click for instance "My Project - Core/java/net", select EasyShell->Open, in Linux opens a terminal in ~/Documents

Thanks for this usefull plugin.

Diego.

I like this extension a lot, but the defaults for Mac OS X are wrong. I've not worked out the proper commands for the two shell commands, but the others should be:

  • Explore command: open {1}
  • Copy Path string: {2}

I'm trying to find out the right command to open a terminal with osx.
The link for the bug request is not working. Sourceforge report an error trying to open the page.
The correct command to open a terminal form a terminal in Osx and make it change the directory is:
osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to do script with command "cd {path}"' where {path} should be substituted with the right path from one of those provided with EasyShell ({1}, {2},...).
At the moment this is not working. I hope someone else could give tips to make it working.
