Customizing StartExplorer to use iTerm
StartExplorer is a useful plug-in for Eclipse. It's convenient to be able to open Finder or shell into a directory directly from Eclipse. Unfortunately, the shell menu uses the default Terminal.app while I prefer to use iTerm.
The app to open a shell is hardcoded but since this project is Open Source it's pretty easy to change it to whatever app we want. Here's how to get the shell to open iTerm instead of Terminal:
clone [email protected]:basti1302/startexplorer.git
Edit /plugin/src/de/bastiankrol/startexplorer/crossplatform/RuntimeExecCallsMacOs.java
Replace the path Terminal.app with iTerm on line 63
brew install maven
mvn clean install
copy plugin/target/de.bastiankrol.startexplorer-1.6.0-SNAPSHOT.jar to your eclipse plugin directory (replacing the original one)
Start Eclipse and enjoy!
