I am wondering if there is a command similar to code ., but for eclipse.
I'm using a Windows 10 computer.
Yes, the command line lets you open files using the --launcher.openFile parameter, and I think it prompts you with the "open projects from file system" wizard when you give it a directory. I'm not sure it works as smoothly since Eclipse lets you use the same binary for more than one workspace.

Can anyone help me with the command line option to switch perspective in eclipse, while the workspace is open. I already tried the command “eclipse.exe -perspective com.prqa.ui.perspective”, but it opens a new instance, I would want to shift to a new perspective in the same instance of eclipse.
Here, PRQA perspective is a perspective created due to external eclipse plugin "Helix QAC".
Otherwise, is there any key and value pair which i can use in, eclipse launch configurations, which can open my required perspective, when i run the launch file?
Thanks
I am using Eclipse Neon, and I would like to execute system commands on a shell/terminal, inside Eclipse.
In particular, I will need to open the system shell using the path of the current project folder on which I'm working in Eclipse.
In some Eclipse packages, like STS or Eclipse for JEE Developers, the Terminal is already installed in your IDE. If not, you can install the TM Terminal from the Eclipse */release update site, as you can see in the image below.
To open the command prompt (shell or terminal) using the path of a project directory inside Eclipse, you just need to select the folder, and press Ctrl+Alt+T, or right-click and select Show In Local Terminal > Terminal.
Then, the terminal will open in a new view inside Eclipse.
The Eclipse IDE which I am working there is no Terminal is there. So I needed to add the plug in like this and it works fine when you try clicking Alt+Ctrl+T
Click on Help in Eclipse-->Eclipse Marketplace--> in Find box (Search terminal and Enter)--> You will see TM Terminal 4.0 Version and just install it.
You may need to restart afterwards
And finally you will be able to get the Terminal when you will type
Alt+Ctrl+T on Console.
If you don't have the TM Terminal plugin installed, you could use external run configurations.
Click on the arrow near run button with the toolbox and add a new external run configuration.
Here, you can enter the path of your program(if you want to run commands, it will be C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe (or the path to PowerShell on windows and /bin/bash (or similar if you use another shell) on linux.
In this dialog, you can also specify running directory of the application(the current project in your case)
After that, you can save this configuration and start it using the external run configuration menu(run button with toolbox)
Click on Run Cofiguration--> arguments --> Program Arguments (write any number of String) -->click on run
Go to Window > show view > Other.
A dialog will show up, type Terminal in the search field, select Terminal and click open.
A new empty view will show up in Eclipse.
On the top right corner of the view there is a button Labeled "open a Terminal".
Click on it, a dialog will show up
click OK and there you go, you got a Terminal.
Is there any way to make Eclipse jump to a specific line out of the console?
e.g.
/usr/bin/eclipse --file=/foo/bar --line=3456
Without opening a new instance of Eclipse if one is already open.
Specifically, I am using TeXlipse to create PDF files. In my PDF viewer, I can get the TeX line I have currently selected and execute console commands with it in order to navigate my TeX-Editor (Eclipse) to that line.

What is the command line option to start eclipse with a specific project?
I can get the correct workspace using -data.
Within that workspace, I want to have a specific project loaded, similar to the "Go Into" command.
I don't think there is such an option right now.
Oening a file from the command line has only taken 9 years: bug 4922:
If your Eclipse Helios 3.6 eclipse.ini file contains "--launcher.defaultAction", you can open any file with:
eclipse.exe myFile
But open directly a project is still missing.
See this SO question which contains an Eclipse plugin that only loads specific projects (which are defined in a config file) into the workspace.
