Are there any decent bash plug-ins for Eclipse? My only requirement is syntax highlighting. I've googled about but did not see anything that looked like "the" bash plug-in.

ShellEd looks promising, does syntax highlighting, and has positive reviews, although I've not tried it myself. It was approved for distro inclusion by Redhat. There's a little more info on the ShellEd plugin page on the Eclipse site, and installation instructions on their wiki.

Note that if you're not running an up-to-date version of Eclipse (as of this writing, Juno) you'll need to use an older version, for instance 2.0.1 is compatible with Indigo.
