Eclipse - Runing programs not in the native eclipse console

I'm currently writing some ncurses code and the native Eclipse (3.2.2) console can't display its graphics. I'd instead like to run the program through xterm. What I want is to be able to start xterm and run from there. I'd prefer to not get involved with any plugins or that jazz. Just something simple.

EDIT

So I have the answer and it was pretty simple... Run -> External Tools -> External Tools -> New Launch Config... Then select location of your terminal emulator. /usr/bin/gnome-terminal in my case. after that set the appropriate arguments. "-e ~/ncurses/start" in my case. Then make sure you aren't allocating a console by unchecking that option in the "Common" tab.

Thanks for answering but this wasn't exactly what I was looking for :) I don't have a problem compiling and running through xterm but its a pain to keep switching back and forth from eclipse and the terminal. I'm looking for a way to just hit something like"F5" and have it run my ncurses program in a new xterm terminal process.
