Question

Is there any way to restart a program in Eclipse? (preferably 1-click)

I really wish the console view had something like a restart button that would kill the app and restart it with the latest changes.

This always takes me at least three clicks. I click the down arrow next to the green circle with white triangle (play button) to open the dropdown menu, then I click to choose the Java main that I want to run, and then to stop I click the red square terminate button in the console view. Is there any easier way to do this that requires fewer clicks?

Answer 1

In Eclipse 4.1
open:
windows->Preferences->keys

in the filter text type: terminate and relaunch

In the binding add your binding (i use shift-F5)

For “when” select “In Windows”

This will do it in single shorcut for you.
