Eclipse question

[dabuddha]

I've been using Eclipse for quite some time and love it. I'd like to add a "feature" if possible but not sure how to go about doing it.
We use a CM system called RCS and I have some scripts which help me checkout/checkin files.
I want to add a popup menu option in the resource tab that will allow a user to "checkout" and "checkin" files. If they choose one of those options, I want eclipse to run the appropriate script.

I.E. User right clicks on helloworld.java and chooses RCS->checkout file which then runs the script called checkout.

Do I need to develop a plugin to do this? If so, is there any recommended tutorial on plugin development because it doesn't look simple to me.

TIA!

I would reccomend looking for eclipse modding plugin tutorials or something. in essence it's just java. if you're good at coding and reading other peoples code you could check out subclipse which is an open source subversion eclipse plugin.

I've used subclipse. We're eventually gonna switch to subversion but I thought I'd rig something up for now using RCS. I've been searching high and low for eclipse plugin tutorials to no avail. I mean I found a few but they're really not that detailed (hence, not very good tutorials) I guess I can keep looking.
