Description Max Rydahl Andersen CLA 2020-10-13 03:38:53 EDT 
eclipse <dirorfolder> works on windows and linux, but not on OSX (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=558674)

it would be a nice touch if the installer would add a script or symbolic link the the users path that would make `eclipse diroffolder` just work.

I wonder if adding stuff to /usr/local/bin/eclipse requires "admin" privileges?

Given how painful it is to develop Mac-specific things, I'll look to contributions for something like this.

its the same for linux and windows.

the only diff for osx is that you need the eclipse to be different because for some reason eclipse binary behaves differently.

"the eclipse" -> "the eclipse script"
