Today, I would like to provide a how-to, or best saying - a tutorial for Eclipse Plugin ShellEd . This approach will help you to increase productivity, and avoid the need to login on linux and write your code. You can use your windows machine as virtual box and only publish your linux code when it is ready
0. Here it is my configuration:
• Windows 7 professional
• Eclipse (Version:Kepler Service Release 2)
1. Install Linux Tools Plugin
• Within Eclipse: click Help --> Install New Software
• Click "Available Software Sites" (link slightly below Add button)
• Enable (check box): Shelled - http://sourceforge.net/projects/shelled/files/shelled/update/
• Click OK
• Under "Work with:" --> Select the recently enabled shelltools
• Click Next --> Next --> Accept license agreement --> Finish
• Restart Eclipse
Creating A New Shell Project
• Create a new project: New Project Wizard --> Select Shell Script Project Wizard --> Click Next
• Input the Project Name --> Click Finish (default setting are fine for now
Download Shell Interpreter
Link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win-bash/?source=typ_redirect
Setting Up The Shell Interpreter
• Navigate to Eclipse Preferences (Eclipse Menu --> Preferences)
• Navigate to ShellEd Options --> Select Interpreters
• Click Search --> Select the interpreter you would like to use --> Click OK
Entering Code
• Insert a new file into the project --> Right click on Shell Project Name --> Select New --> Select File
• Input file name --> Click Finish
• Enter a few commands (Bash Interpreter for this example) and Save
Run The Script Within Eclipse
• Click Run Menu --> Run As --> Run shell script
Happy coding!
I hope it helps you,
Thiago Leoncio.
