Eclipse bash editor is a eclipse plugin which enables users to edit bash files (.sh) in eclipse IDE. It includes also an integrated bash script debugger.
It can be directly installed by eclipse market place client or from website https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/bash-editor. It has no special dependencies and works on Linux, Windows and Mac out of the box.
