Eclipse ShellEd plugin error - eclipse

Question

I have downloaded net.sourceforge.shelled-site-2.0.3 from here
and successfully installed in eclipse.
However when I try to open Shell Script Editor.
I have googled around with this error but found no clue.
I am using eclipse 4.4.2

Answer 1

The plugin you installed is using a method of the Eclipse ListenerList class which is only in Eclipse 4.6 and later releases. Because of this it won't work in Eclipse 4.4.2

Answer 2

During the installation it should have been recognized that at least version 3.8 of the plug-in org.eclipse.equinox.common is required. If possible, the plug-in would have been updated. Otherwise, an error message would have appeared.
Unfortunately, this did not happen due to Eclipse bug 526574: in org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable the minimum version of the required plug-in org.eclipse.equinox.common is specified with 3.2 instead of 3.8 by mistake.
