I spend my days coding using GWT (Google Web Toolkit) using the Google Eclipse Plugin. Slowly but surely, my tech life gets more “Googley”.
#ECLIPSE OS X OPEN RESOURCE ZIP#
Now, you should be able to click on any folder in your Package Explorer, select ZIP from the menu, see the console give you feedback about what is happening, generate a zip file, and refresh the view to show the new file, all in one click! You can also Display in favorites menu to get the entry shown in the first image.
Here select Local file, Allocate console (necessary for input), and Launch in background.
Skip the Environment tab and go straight to the Common tab. On the Build tab, check Build before launch and select either The entire workspace or The project containing the selected resource. And check Recursively include sub-folders. Set it to The entire workspace or The project containing the selected resource. On the Refresh tab, check Refresh resources upon completion. Enter the location as /usr/bin/zip, the Working Directory as $. Since tools like Zip and Tar are part of OSX, it is pretty easy to configure Eclipse to package the files for me.Ĭlick on the External Tools Configurations (in the menu shown) and add a New Launch Configuration (I named mine ZIP). I work in Eclipse nearly every day, and I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have needed to compress a folder or project for one reason or another.
