Problem installing ShellEd plugin in Eclipse Helios


When I try to install ShellED plugin for Eclipse:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: ShellEd 2.0.0.201007201532-1--773533H735D97 (net.sourceforge.shelled.feature.group 2.0.0.201007201532-1--773533H735D97) Missing requirement: ShellEd Core 0.0.0.201007201532 (net.sourceforge.shelled.core 0.0.0.201007201532) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.dltk.core [2.0.0,3.0.0)' but it could not be found Cannot satisfy dependency: From: ShellEd 2.0.0.201007201532-1--773533H735D97 (net.sourceforge.shelled.feature.group 2.0.0.201007201532-1--773533H735D97) To: net.sourceforge.shelled.core [0.0.0.201007201532]

Could not install org.eclipse.dltk.core? Do you know where to find it?


Solution

  • I have found http://www.chasetechnology.co.uk/eclipse/updates to be easier to install
    After installing Linux Man page, install ShellEd from the above link.

    
    go Help => install new software => Add 
    Name: ShellEd 
    Location: http://www.chasetechnology.co.uk/eclipse/updates
    
    

    Restart eclipse
    close and reopen andy shell file and voala syntax highlighing will be there!!!
    Note that ShellEd does not create a new Perspective though.
    But *.sh, *.bash, *.csh, *.ksh and few other sh file extentions are associated to ShellEd.
    Enjoy!!!
