How to change default eclipse shell interpreter?

Question

I have installed the ShellEd plugin in eclipse. Whenever I run a bash script it runs it using dash even if I specify interpreter directive #! /bin/bash at the top of the script.

How do I change this behavior?

Answer 1

• You need to install Cygwin or MSYS/MinGW.

• Add the interpreter bash.exe path in eclipse as follows:

  Window->Preferences->Shell Script -> Interpreters

Answer 2

THere should be an option to set the bash interpreter as follows:

Window->Preferences-><the_plugin_name>->Interpreter.

you need to set you bash interpreter path here (/bin/bash). Eclipse will use the value you set here to execute your program.
