How To Configure

You can configure this plug-in per project.

1. Create a conf file with a name on_save_hook.conf in the top directory of your target project.

2. In that file, you must set exec item at least like below: exec=C:/Users/test_user/workspace/TestProject/execute_file.bat

3. Optionally, you can set two items, include and exclude which are used for filtering target files by their names.

How To Execute

This plug-in will run the exec each time when files are changed, created and deleted, I believe.

1. Change ( or create, delete ) any file on the project.
2. Then you can see some output on the console view from this plug-in. ( If you can't find any output on the view, make sure that the plug-in is installed correctly into your Eclipse. )
3. You will also see output there if you echo ( or print ) something in the exec file,
