Macros for Eclipse

EnnoWulff — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 09:18:20 GMT

Hey there!

Does anyone know if there is a plugin where I can define macros in ADT?

I would like to achieve something like:

Open object in current project
run unit tests with code-coverage
make sure that code coverage view is visible

with only one command.

Thanks for any hint

Hi Enno, not sure if you've seen this (and I've not tried it) but it looks like there is a macro recorder for Eclipse. This page refers to an old Eclipse version but might still work: https://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/Macros It sounds like it'd work similar to macro recorder in Excel. There isn't much information on this online though. I'm guessing it either doesn't work or isn't a popular feature. Hm...

Thanks for the hint @Jelena_Perfiljeva

I tried this plugin but was not able to install it. The installation process just didn't come to an end... 😕
