i am developing a Netbeans Plugin where i need to invoke a command(windows bath file) which can be executed with the command prompt. is there a way to invoke that batch file from the Netbeans plugin?
Thanks !!!
You can use Runtime.exec or alternatively you can have a look at the NetBeans Developer FAQ specifically the page on External Processes I would think.

I make batch file to use with Eclipse External tool.
I refer this site: http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fconcepts-exttools.htm
In this site, Variable Example "${resource_name}",it's results is "MyFile.txt"
I want to use arguments like "MyFile", What can I do like this?
Thanks!:)
This is the plugin you might be looking for

eclipse plugin called "path tools" seems promising as well

How do I make eclipse launch a program in the eclipse workbench from the command line?
Specifically, I would like to run a command from the shell that causes my eclipse instance (which is already open) to run a particular program. If there is no program to do this from the shell, is there some RPC API that eclipse provides to make such a program?
I do not want to make a plugin. It must be a separate process that controls eclipse.
Eclipse Remote Control seems that it might do the trick https://github.com/marook/eclipse-remote-control from the Read me file.
Introduction
Eclipse plug-in project which adds remote control features to eclipse.
Commands can be sent via the eclipse remote control client to a
running eclipse instance.
I have not tried it myslef but I ran into it trying to figure out how to write an ant task that triggers .launch file
First create a batch file and save it in a location.
For example if I want to invoke notepad , I will write in the batch as follows
start notepad
In eclipse, you can configure external tools.
Goto Run -> External Tools -> External Tools Configurations.
You will be presented with a Dialog box.
Now Click on the New Configuration Icon.
In the right pane of Window you can assign a configuration Name.
In the Location Text Box, Click on the "Browse File System" Button, and select the batch file you have created earlier.
In the Common Tab, uncheck "Launch In Background".
You can set this configuration in Favourites menu, by clicking the checkbox "External Tools" under Common Tab.
Click on Apply.
Now you can Run your required application. This is for Windows only. I don't have any idea of this for Linux Machines.
Take a look at Product Configuration
1º Create a new Product Configuration (Ctrl+N), and select "Use a launch configuration" (or another option, if it's more convenient) on the first page of the wizard.
2º In the Exporting section you should be able to export your product using the "Eclipse Product export wizard".
3º To run the product, follow this instructions
Hope it helps.
Not a complete answer, but here are some things I've come across with Eclipse:
In general, you can open Eclipse from the command line with something like:
java -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Dhelp.lucene.tokenizer=standard -Xms40m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -cp plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
That Main launcher takes an -application flag where you can pass what I think are plugins (not sure). I've typically used this to run Ant within Eclipse:
java -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Dhelp.lucene.tokenizer=standard -Xms40m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -cp plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -buildfile build.xml
I have no idea how to manipulate a running Eclipse instance, and I don't know if you can achieve your goals through an Ant script, but I thought these might be fruitful avenues.
Addition to ams' answer, marook's plugin just support very few commands.
open_file and execute_command with RUN/DEBUG/PROFILE
And marook also have a blog post about how to implement more command http://pielmeier.blogspot.com/2010/07/implementing-new-eclipse-remote-control.html
But as we all know, Eclipse plugin development is quite heavy weight.
So, I suggest just use execute_command with RUN by marook's plugin. The further function to Eclipse IDE, can be done by Eclipse EASE script engine. Write a light weight script and then RUN by marook's plugin, to avoid Eclipse plugin development.
More information about EASE can be found at:
https://opensource.com/life/16/2/how-use-python-hack-your-ide
There is also javascript script support:

Here you have a series of examples: http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0014.html
Basically, you use:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
I am following GWT tutorial from code.google.com. I build an application using webAppCreator & try to run it from command line using ant devmode. It raises this error, ant is not recognized as an internal or external command
Try using the eclipse plugin. You can download eclipse for free by clicking here
Then click "help" and "install new software". Enter this link: http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6
Just click next, next and restart eclipse.
If you really want to use the command line you should add your sdk path to your computer variables but I don't know the exact setup anymore.
Is it possible to use external command line tools in Netbeans?
Thank you.
After searching and searching and searching, this feature is just missing in netbeans although it would absolutely straightforward to implement and has been ask by user for 2 more than years...

There is a Terminal window in NetBeans 7:
Open the menu, Window -> Output -> Terminal
What about using an Ant target? Ant files are quite comfortable to run from Netbeans.
<exec executable="${executable-full-path}" ...
The best option I've found is to use jmarsault's plugin that he calls NetBeans Command Shortcuts. This give you an icon in the command line where you can add command and terminal scripts to run. The display shows in the output window.
Installation files are available here and he has kept it up to date with the newest versions of NetBeans.
NetBeans Command Shortcut plugin
Installation:
Download the .nbm file for your version of NetBeans
Open Tools / Plugins / Downloaded / Add Plugins...
Select the .nbm file and allow the installation of the plugin.
In since at least version 9.0, there are two decent options:
Just create a script file. (I think you need the C++ plugin for this. Otherwise you have to create it outside NetBeans or as a text file.) In my case I created a JLinkGDBServer.sh that just executes JLinkGDBServer as a prerequisite to start an embedded debug session. This automatically sends the executable's output to a NetBeans terminal.
Add a tool to Tools/Options/Miscellaneous/SendTo. SendTo is a pop-up menu item for certain project entities, for example files but not the project. In my case, I could add a SendTo running the executable and use it by right-clicking on for example the .elf file (although for the GDB server I don't need any file name as an argument).
My Java application is started by running a set of commands that are present in a batch file (.bat file). And I imported this into Eclipse workbench. How do I execute the batch file from Eclipse. Similar to the one in command line, I directly give "path:\myBatchfile.bat". Is there any way I can do directly from Eclipse.
You can call your .bat file using the External Tools feature (in the Run menu).
Example:
Or, you could create an Ant build file, which can call external applications.
This will give you the advantage to call the .bat not only from Eclipse, but other IDE's, or from command line (on any machine).
http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/exec.html
You can also run a batch file (or any other executable file) by opening it with the System Editor. Use Open With -> System Editor.
Associate with text Editor by right-click - Open With
(As of 2017 there is no plugin with special editor )
To run install plugin like https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/easyshell
You can easy run .sh with Git Bash as well
