Is there an Eclipse plugin to run system shell in the Console

Question

Do you know of any Eclipse plugin to run a system shell in the included console  It would be awesome  Dolphin  KDE s file navigator  has this feature  you can press F4 and a console shows located on the directory you are standing   It would be awesome to have a similar feature on Eclipse  with the shell located on the directory of the project file you are working on    Does this plugin exist   If not  would it be too complicated to code such a plugin  I have no idea about eclipse plugin development  yet

In Eclipse 3 7  I found a terminal view plugin that I installed through Eclipse Marketplace  Details are as follow      Local Terminal  Incubation    http   market eclipsesource com yoxos node org eclipse tm terminal local feature group      A terminal emulation for local shells and external tools    Requires CDT Core 7 0 or later  Works on Linux  Solaris and Mac  Includes Source    Side note  this terminal does not execute  bash profile or  bashrc so you can do  source    bash profile   and  if this isn t sourced by   bash profile   source    bashrc   Update   This is actually was base for Terminal plug-in for Eclipse fork  Quote from http   alexruiz developerblogs com  p 2428     Uwe Stieber July 23  2013 at 12 57 am      Alex  why not aiming for rejoining your work with the original TM Terminal  I   ve checked and haven   t found any bugzilla asking for missing features or pointing out bugs  There had been changes to the original Terminal control  so I   m not sure if all of your original reasons to clone it are still true

I just found out about WickedShell  but it seems to work wrong with GNU Linux and bash  Seems like some sort of encoding issue  all the characters in my prompt are displayed wrong   Seems to be the best  only  tool for the job anyways  so I ll give it some more testing and see if it s good enough  I ll contact the developer anyways about this issue

Terminal plug-in for Eclipse provides a command line view    INSIDE Eclipse   at the moment Linux and Mac OS X only  Windows is missing  For Windows  use JW s aproach    source  developerblogs com  Update 1  They are working on Windows support  see this issue and a basic implementation  Update 2  Not working on it since Aug 2013

Add C  Windows System32 cmd exe as an external tool  Once run  you can then access it via the normal eclipse console   http   www avajava com tutorials lessons how-do-i-open-a-windows-command-prompt-in-my-console html    source  avajava com

I really like StartExplorer but it is a contextual launcher rather than in - IDE shell so not sure if that is what you want

just a little bit late    you might give a try at http   code google com p tarlog-plugins   It gives you options like open shell and open explorer from Project Explorer context menu   There s also http   sourceforge net projects explorerplugin  but it seems kind of stuck at 2009

The best solution I have been able to find is TCF Terminals 1 2  Luna    You start off with a Windows command prompt    If you like git bash  you can get git bash going inside it like this   The trick is the command   D  Apps Git bin sh exe --login -i   Change this command path to wherever you installed git  The arguments --login -i are key

It exists  and it s built into Eclipse  Go to the Remote Systems view  and you ll see an entry for  Local   Right-click  Local Shells  and choose  Launch Shell    You can t launch it directly from the project navigator  But you can right-click in the navigator and choose  Show in Remote Systems view   From there you can right-click the parent folder and choose  Launch Shell    Aptana also has a Terminal view  and a command to open the selected file in the terminal

Aptana Studio 3 includes such terminal  I found it to be very similar to native terminal compared to what s mentioned in other answers

I wrote this to get a native shell   it uses the same GTK widget the gnome-terminal uses so the behavior should be nearly identical   http   github com maihde Eclipse-Terminal

You don t need a plugin  including the Remote System View plugin   you can do this with the basic platform  You just create an external tool configuration  I ve added an image to demonstrate     Orange Arrows  Use the external tool button on the toolbar and select External Tools Configuration     Click on Program then up above click on the New launch configuration icon     Green Arrows  Use the Name field and name your new tool something clever like  Launch Shell    In the Location area enter a shell command e g   bin bash  A more generic approach would be to use   env var SHELL  which under the Mac  and I hope Linux  launches the default shell  Then in the Working Directory you can use the variable    project loc  to set the default directory to your current project location  This will mean that when you launch the tool  you have to make sure you have your cursor in an active project on the explorer or in an appropriate editor window   Under the Arguments area use -i for interactive mode    Blue arrows  Switch to the Build tab and uncheck Build before launch  Then switch to the Common tab and click to add your command to the favorites menu   Now click Apply and Close  Make sure the console view is showing  Window- gt Show View- gt Console   Click on a project in the Package or Project Explorer or click in an editor window that has code for a project of interest  Then click on the external tool icon and select Launch Shell  you now have an interactive shell window in the console view    In the lower left of the image you can see the tcsh shell in action     Windows Note  This also works in Windows but you use   env var ComSpec  in the location field and you can leave the arguments field blank
