cd on openbox menu[SOLVED]

hello Bunsenlabs forum members 

Well I installed eclipse by eclipse installer.

I can start eclipse when I enter the following command in a terminal:

cd /home/renatinho/eclipse/java-mars/eclipse && ./eclipse

So I added this to menu.xml:

<menu id="development" label="Development">
   <item label="Eclipse">
      <action name ="Execute">
          <command>
	      cd /home/renatinho/eclipse/java-mars/eclipse && ./eclipse
	  </command>
      </action>
    </item>	
</menu>

But when I try to start Eclipse by menu I get:

Failure to execute child process "cd"(File or directory not found)

=== Mod Edit ===
Please use

[code]
code tags when showing terminal output
[/code]

Re: cd on openbox menu[SOLVED]

Wrap the command in an x-terminal emulator call:

x-terminal-emulator -e "cd /home/renatinho/eclipse/java-mars/eclipse && ./eclipse"

Re: cd on openbox menu[SOLVED]

Why not just full path

 /home/renatinho/eclipse/java-mars/eclipse/eclipse

or

 ~/eclipse/java-mars/eclipse/eclipse

Try this instead:

<command>
. /home/renatinho/eclipse/java-mars/eclipse/eclipse
</command>

Or:

sh /home/renatinho/eclipse/java-mars/eclipse/eclipse

Your English is better than my <your mother-tongue>.
Be cool we don't bite.  Glad it's fixed.
