I've been using Bash Editor in Eclipse on Windows for a while now. Most of my bash scripts have no file extension at all. When I open these files Bash Editor is chosen by Eclipse by default as I expect. When I open the same files in Eclipse on RHEL 10.1 and Ubuntu 24.04 it defaults to Text Editor and prompts to find a marketplace extension.
Based on this behavior it seems Eclipse on Windows correctly sees the first line "#!/bin/bash" in these files and triggers Bash Editor. This bizarrely doesn't work on RHEL/Ubuntu... Eclipse opens using default Text Editor and prompts for marketplace search.
Multiple systems have the same issue: RHEL 10.1 and Ubuntu 24.04.
Eclipse versions: 2025-12 and 2026-03 (haven't tried any others).
Bash Editor version is 2.10.0 in all test cases.
