"Error: esptool/mkspiffs not found!" for ESP8266FS.jar on Windows

[h4rm0n1c]

The only way I could get ESP8266FS.jar working on windows was to put the esptool and mkspiffs executables in the root of the esp8266 tools folder.
The path in question being {runtime.platform.path}/tools/ which resolves to C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\esp8266com\esp8266\tools

After doing this, the Arduino IDE upload function worked without errors.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with ESP8266FS.jar or the IDE.

1.6.5 or 1.6.6?
Boards manager package or git tree in hardware/esp8266com/esp8266?

It's an issue with ESP8266FS tool, I haven't adapted it to the new
directory layout. Will fix.

@h4rm0n1c please try the new release: https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin/releases/tag/0.1.3

@igrr All good, cleared out tools folder and tried with new version, tool runs without errors "out of the box".

Thank you! 👍
