If a project directory struct exists and the user selects the folder “build” in the project it launches build.cmd instead of opening the folder.

Project/
Project/build <—–[folder]
Project/build.cmd <—– [dos script]

My Eclipse Version:
EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_4.1.1GA_E3.1

This is actually an Eclipse bug as we don’t instrument the behavior of the package or navigator views. Odd find though, I think this likely has to do with how Windows processes the request and not eclipse but I could be wrong.

I was not able to replicate this. I created a folder called build and then a new build.cmd file that just opened notepad. Then I clicked on the “build” folder and selected “Open in Explorer” and it correctly opened the build folder in Windows Explorer. Can you explain the steps that led to it launching the script using “Open in Explorer”?

It’s just like how you executed it. Except mine launches the build.cmd. I wanted to open an explorer for the build folder so I selected it and clicked on the “Open in Explorer” icon.

The build.cmd is a wrapper for launching ant builds. That’s odd that it’s only happening to me.
Here’s my eclipse version: eclipse-SDK-3.1.2-win32

What version of Windows and what file ssytem are you using?

Windows XP Pro SP2
NTFS

It’s hard to say, I can’t reproduce this on Mac or Windows… I thought it might be file system issue but you look good to go.
