Eclipse external tool path

The absolute path on the system's hard drive to the specified resource's parent either a folder or project. The full path, relative to the workspace root, of the currently selected resource's project or of the project being built if the external tool is run as part of a build. The full path, relative to the workspace root, of the currently selected resource's parent either a folder or project.

The name of the currently selected resource's project or of the project being built if the external tool is run as part of a build. For more details, please see the separate Project portability page.

Generating portable projects was one of the design requirements of the GNU MCU Eclipse cross build plug-in, at the same time with the apparently conflicting requirement for handling multiple toolchains and versions.

To achieve this, the GNU MCU Eclipse cross build plug-in provides a large selection of existing toolchains, and associate each one with a separate path. For special projects that require a specific version, it also allows to associate a path to each project.

In all cases this association is stored in the workspace internal folders, and not in the project configuration, so it is not passed via the repository from one developer to the other. The displayed path is associated with the selected toolchain. To change the toolchain path use the hyperlinks; it is recommended to use the global page, but, if needed, the toolchain path can also be configured per workspace or even per project. Clicking the xPack… button allows to enter the path by selecting the xPack version.

Those are the two items that jump out at me that would definitely be different between windows and a POSIX type of system…. Can I do this things from my own eclipse plugin. I do not want to create this configuration manually.

It should be created when I create a new project. Is it possible to do from plugin. Is there any documentation? Please note that I do not know Java coding. Nilesh, Not sure I understand the reference to an eclipse plugin… The setup described here only needs to be done once in Eclipse… it will then be available to all projects you initiate or already have in your workspace.

So its basically a one time setup — global to eclipse. But I have created one plugin for my project which does all needed compiler setting but not this. If you coded your plugin, then you should be able to just call grunt with a system command.

That, however, is outside if my knowledge base. You probably need to post this on an Eclipse development forum. Good luck. Hi Paul, this is a great post, did you happen to do any MEAN apps through Eclipse setup, does it allow to do debugging of nodejs apps that are designed to run with grunt?

I had Eclipse with nodeclipse able to debug apps that i can run server. Hi Venkat. Most of my projects involve front-end development only at this time and thus I use the browser for debugging.

Thanks for this! One little thing… it should be —no-color.. Good catch Piotr… I see it on the screen capture, but not on the post.. Following creation of an external tool configuration for a GDB server, the server may be invoked at any time by selecting the configuration within the External Tools Configurations dialog and clicking Run , or, more commonly, by selecting the external tool configuration from the list of most recently used external tools.

Any messages emitted by the GDB server will be observable within an Eclipse Console view which is created when the tool is launched. In typical usage, a CDT debug session must be launched immediately following launch of the external tool and the GDB process created by the CDT debug session will then connect to the GDB server process created by the external tool session.

For convenience, the two launches may be triggered in the correct sequence by creating an Eclipse Launch Group configuration. Note that the external tool configuration used to launch the GDB server supports the "Run" launch mode only. It is therefore necessary to override the default launch mode for this launch configuration within the launch group.

Following creation of the launch group configuration, a debug session involving both the GDB server and the CDT launch may be invoked at any time by selecting the configuration within the Debug Configurations dialog and clicking Debug , or, more commonly, by selecting the launch group configuration from the list of most recently used debug launches:.
