How can we run a custom command in eclipse?

I want to run a custom command say "run mspaint.exe" from eclipse..How can i do that? I want to run more complex commands written by me but i want to run from eclipse because the resources are in my workspace generated on some program compilation..

One can use internal DSL when defining an external tool. Instead of C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe one writes ${system_path:calc}.

Full list of supported functions:

run > external tool > external tool configurations...

for paint say, 

Name: run paint
Location: C:\Windows\System32\mspaint.exe

done. you can see this menu. and execute.

Well, since paint just opened, lets get a screenshot for you :)
