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).
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.
