I have been using Vim + Conque Shell for this purpose. With this plugin you can split your Vim window to two, and run spark shell in one of them. You can write your code in the other editor window and execute it line by line. <http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2771> I am sure there are equivalents in Eclipse.
