Question

I m trying to configure PyDev in eclipse, and as part of that I m trying to add some source folders to the External Libraries section for PYTHONPATH. However, when I click "Add source folder" in eclipse, it s not letting me drill into any .app directories. Normally, in regular Finder, I would right click and choose "Show Package Contents", but through the "Add Source Folder" in Eclipse, all the .apps are greyed out and I can t right click on them. Any ideas on how I get past this? Specifically, I m looking to drill into the GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app. I m still very new to Macs, so I m guessing (hoping?) the solution is easy and obvious to one of you out there.

Thanks

Answer 1

.app s are just directories and you can treat them as such. If you can manually type the path, i think that would work (it does with other programs I ve used).

As for drilling into the package from the file dialog, it may be possible, but I haven t found how.

Just checked this & it worked for me (you ll have to manually type the full path in the popup):

The "Go To Folder…" keyboard shortcut (⌘⇧G) works from within "Open" or "Save"
dialogues    and should allow access to the interior of packages by entering
a path...

This shortcut works anywhere from finder, useful for getting to those hidden folders such as /etc & /usr

When Eclipse brings up the file-open dialog, switch over to the Mac Finder, browse to the .app, drill down into it with right-click > Show Package Contents, and then drag the file or folder you want from the Finder window onto the file-open dialog that Eclipse is still showing.
