If you need to run buildout often, it's recommended to make a shortcut for it.

You can add external tools to Eclipse IDE. This example shows how to add buildout command.

* Click Run External tool button (play icon with toolbox)

* Choose YOURPLONEINSTANCEPROJECT/bin/buildout for the program

* Choose YOURPLONEINSTANCEPROJECT as the working directory

* Click Ok

* Now you can run buildout from Run External Tool drop down menu. All output goes to the Eclipse console window.
