ContextMenuPlugin for Eclipse

New: Supports multiple file selection, but this time for real! (Previously the files had to reside in the same directory.)
New: Supports Unicode characters in file names!
Runs on Windows Vista or later, Linux and OS X.

This plug-in allows you to open the original Windows Explorer context menu directly from Eclipse.

It adds a context menu item called "Context Menu" to the Package Explorer context menu.

CHANGELOG

It is also possible to configure any other application that takes files or directories as argument. You can configure it through Window->Preferences->Context Menu.

Example configurations:

• explorer.exe /select,{0} to open the file in Explorer and select the file
• totalcmd.exe /o {0} to open the file in running Total Commander in the left window
• kfmclient exec file:{0} to open Konqueror.
• nautilus {0} to open Nautilus.
• grepWin /searchpath:{0} /u:no /executesearch to open grepWin for one selected file.
  

  To support several selected files, it is required to use a custom batch file:

  @echo off
  setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
  :: concatenate the arguments separated by pipe symbol (^ to quote pipe, ~ to remove quotes from argument)
  for %%i in (%*) do (
      set args=!args!^|%%~i
  )
  grepWin.exe /searchpath:!args! /u:no /executesearch
