Get the Command Prompt Working Inside Eclipse for Windows
July 7, 2007 – 3:40 amOut of the box, I would have to open a separate command prompt window. I wanted to use the built in command prompt that works so well in my Ubuntu Eclipse. Following are the steps that I used to get it to work:
-
Run->External Tools->External Tools
-
Highlight Program and click the “New” icon (upper left)
-
Give it a name like “CMD”
-
Location is: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe (maybe different on your system)
-
Choose a working directory
-
Now the command prompt is in your console menu.

Hello,
I’ve been using the external commands and console alot with my development too - for example - I have an SVN update scenario and a log watch program also using the external commands’ console. Check out my blog for details of these.
I haven’t ever thought about putting the command prompt into the console - good idea!
