Install/Uninstall

Download the latest version of the plugin, Download the latest version of the plugin on the "Release" page, then put it into your Eclipse plugin directory "$ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins" (or "$ECLIPSE_HOME/dropins" for 3.3+ eclipse)

On Mac OS X, you can find the "plugins/dropins" folder by right click on "/Applications/Eclipse" (or the Eclipse executable), then "Show Package Contents".

Restart Eclipse workbench.

To uninstall, just remove the jar.

Tips

• OpenExplorer supports multiple selections, so if you select multiple directories/files in package explorer and click the icon, all the selected directories/files will be opened.
