Eclipse: assign keyboard shortcut to a specific run configuration

A few days ago, i tried to find a possibility to assign a keyboard shortcut to a specific run configuration in eclipse (i have 4 different confs in my current project).
As it seems to me that there is no built-in solution nor a plugin to set a keyboard shortcut to a specific run conf, and as i dont have time to learn eclipse plugin development (in the moment), i found a NICE tool to do things like this: The Sikuli IDE..

Sikuli is a visual technology to search and automate graphical user interfaces (GUI) using images (screenshots).

So i wrote a Sikuli Skript which clicks on the corresponding eclipse buttons and voilĂ  – i can assign a keyboard shortcut to a specific run conf.
My Sikuli Skript looks like this:

Sikuli Eclipse Run Config

Works fine for me. The last thing to do is to assign a keyboard shortcut on Windows which starts this script.
I’m looking forward to the next tasks i could automate with Sikuli! It’s easy and fun, like programming for children…
