Open from External Event
=====================
Eclipse plugin which can handle external event and open files or show a stacktrace.
This feature is inspired by 2 features:
* the Direct Click Through feature of the Atlassian Connector
* Eclipse [Open from Clipboard feature][1]
## How does it work?
It's really quite simple. Eclipse will listen on a port locally on the client machine (it'll only accept loopback IPs, so there is no security breach). Your link is really a simple call to this port. Eclipse plugin will pick this up and work magic.
## What is handled
Tries to **open the matching** Java element in the editor if the clipboard contains a **single line**. **Otherwise** it opens the contents in the **Java Stack Trace Console**. Examples:
java.lang.String
String
String#getBytes
String.getBytes
java.lang.String.getBytes(String)
String.java:123
at java.lang.String.matches(String.java:1550)
java.lang.String.valueOf(char) line: 1456
currentTimeMillis()
## Where is it used from?
* [Jenkins plugin][2]
* [AnalysisDashboard][3]
## Plugin installation
To install the Eclipse plugin:
* In Eclipse, click on Help -> Install New Software...
* Click on Add..
* Enter the following:
Name: Open from External Event plugin
URL: http://cbos.github.io/OpenFromExternalEvent/update/
and click OK.
* Select the plugin and click Next >.
* You'll need to accept the (empty) license and confirm you want to install a plugin that is not digitally signed. Go ahead and install it anyway.
* Restart eclipse.
