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
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.
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()
