Very nice
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!

Works with Eclipse 4.2 (Juno)
Submitted by Lance E Sloan on Sun, 09/30/2012 - 11:47
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:

In reply to Works with Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) by Lance E Sloan
In most times, it works well in Juno, but sometimes, the sub menu of Easy Shell in the context menu is missing, while in Helios, it never happens. It seems to be a compatibility issue between current version of EasyShell and Juno.

Linux - Wrong folder when opening a terminal
Submitted by Diego lcántara on Thu, 07/19/2012 - 08:37
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.

Nice plugin but a boring point
Submitted by Cimballi Mising name on Thu, 11/24/2011 - 11:04
The plugin is nice but the position of the menu item in the context menu could be better, mainly for the outline, I am used to have the "Run as" menu as the first item and now it's "Easy Shell".

osx terminal command
Submitted by Patrick Polloni on Fri, 01/06/2012 - 11:16
In reply to Help by andre.bossert@…
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.
