#59109 Wondering if anyone has set up their PC to use Eclipse & Sloeber? http://eclipse.baeyens.it/index.shtml If so, did anyone configure it to also create a spiffs bin for data folder content and possibly also do an upload?

My one minor issue so far, is that I'm not sure exactly if its possible to have Eclipse create and upload a data folder spiffs.bin?

I saw this post https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/1063 which, while slightly confusing to me due to my inexperience, appeared to fit the general gist of what I was trying to do. I think I got things set up, but I'm not seeing a spiffs.bin get created anywhere.

Maybe there is a different path I should be taking to go about this, I'm not certain.
I'm looking for ideas on how to proceed, if anyone has some insight.
