A tiny tool to install eclipse + plugins via commandline

Base on the information from my previous post I wrote a little bash script to simplify the eclipse installation via commandline.

Find the sources in the subdir eclipse_install_tools of my GitHub project.

A fresh eclipse installation with checkstyle and findbugs plugins would be created with the three commandline calls:

  ./install_eclipse.sh -t /home/tools/luna
  ./install_eclipse.sh -t /home/tools/luna -p findbugs 
  ./install_eclipse.sh -t /home/tools/luna -p checkstyle 

The script has been tested on Linux, but should also work on Windows when a bash (e.g. win-bash) is installed and the URL to the eclipse installation file is adjusted.

The script is also used in the dockerfile to create a docker image for a Eclipse RCP/RAP development environment.
