QuickShell is an Eclipse plugin to use Java JShell (REPL) inside Eclipse IDE.
JDK 9+ is not installed on your system? No worries, you can still use QuickShell using external unzipped JDK. So without disturbing your existing project setup, you can use QuickShell.
## How to setup :
There are multiple ways to install this plugin:
- Download from Eclipse marketplace:
[](http://marketplace.eclipse.org/marketplace-client-intro?mpc_install=5295544 "Drag to your running Eclipse* workspace. *Requires Eclipse Marketplace Client")
- Install using Eclipse update site:
Go to following page and follow instructions: [https://nileshkhaire.github.io/QuickShell/update/]( https://nileshkhaire.github.io/QuickShell/update/)
- Download plugin JAR file and put into your Eclipse plugin directory "$ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins" . Restart eclipse.
> Note : QuickShell is depends on Eclipse 'TM Terminal' plugin. If it is already not install in your Eclipse (Press Ctrl+Alt+T to check) , please download from Eclipse Marketplace. Without this plugin some features of QuickShell will not work. [ Check this Question for more ]( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43623643/how-to-open-terminal-inside-eclipse )
## How to configure :
- Go to Eclipse menu, Window -> Preferences -> QuickShell Settings and click on browse to select jshell executable present in JDK installation directory.(JDK 9+) ( jshell.exe in Windows). See screenshot below :
> Note : Even though you are using older JDK for running eclipse, you can still use this plugin by using external JDK. For this you can download JDK9+ from [ https://jdk.java.net/archive/ ]( https://jdk.java.net/archive/) unzip it somewhere and select path of jshell executable in setting specified above.
## How to use :
### 1. Java class lines as jshell script :
Select your existing code in java editor and click on right-click menu QuickShell -> Run as JShell script.
### Result
### 2. Run .jsh (jshell file) :
Create a file with extension `.jsh`. for example `test.jsh` and right-click on it and click on the pop-up menu QuickShell -> Run JShell Script. Check the screenshot below:
### Result
### 3. Start JShell in Eclipse Terminal :
Click on eclipse menu QuickShell -> Start JShell in Eclipse Terminal. This will open jshell in eclipse terminal.
### Result
### 4. Start JShell native Executable :
Click on eclipse menu QuickShell -> Start JShell Executable. This will call jshell executable in a separate window. (Note: This is a platform-dependent feature it may not be supported on your operating system or it may not work on your operating system. I have tested on Windows and it is working as expected. I am trying to support other OS in next releases.
