I am currently trying to code on Eclipse using JavaScript, but I am having a lot of troubles when tying to add JavaScript to Eclipse. I followed the instructions on this website (JavaScript Editor Plugin for Eclipse), and everything was going well until step 9 of the first part. JavaScript Viewer is not one of the offered options in Editor Selection. I am very confused as to what to do. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you in advance :)
Version: Eclipse Oxygen on MacOS. Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a)
You could give the latest Eclipse IDE for JavaScript and Web Developers bundle a try.
It provides:
The essential tools for any JavaScript developer, including JavaScript, HTML, CSS, XML languages support, Git client, and Mylyn.
With this recent (2018) version of Eclipse, you should get a working JS-enabled IDE pretty fast as this is pre-bundled for the use-cases you are looking for:
JavaScript Development Tools
Eclipse XML Editors and Tools
[..]
Hope it helps.
FYI -- I ran into this problem with the latest version of eclipse [2020-06(4.16.0)]. It turns out they removed the Javascript editor from the install. See ref here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=564496

I have two questions
I just started my learning on nodejs and looking for nodejs editor for debugging and development on eclipse. Is there anything that is available.
I have been working a while on javascript in eclipse, but debugging is poor compared to browser developer console. Its not showing errors at all and jumping from HTML code to JS flow is not happing. Looking for a solution to solve this.
PS: I used to use Aptana Studio and sublime but require something that works with eclipse. Thanks
There is IntelliJ WebStorm which has a lot JS features.. for frontend and also for backend.. Gives you some cool features for debugging like xcode for PHP for nodejs and so on.. It's not free, but it also makes a lot fun, because it's much faster then eclipse (have worked with it a lot.. and the switched) and made for web developers
Microsoft's "Visual Studio Code" is a great, free IDE for Node.js.
Check it:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/code-vs.aspx
I thought PDT would do code assisting on JS files. Was I wrong, or is there a bug or something I am missing?
Is the Javascript development tools installed? I'm not sure, whether its installed together with the PHP Development Tools.
Select Help/Install new software, then select the Helios update site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios), then install the Javascript Development Tools from the Web, XML and Java EE category.
Update: See the answer at your other question.
Got here because I had the same problem, first install "Eclipse web developer tools => javascript development tools"
Then instead of creating a javascript project create a "static web project". Right click the project in project explorer choose configure (in the bottom) make sure you add javascript support (if it's not there than it's probably already supported).
Under your project in project explorer there should be an item called javascript resources right click that and choose properties. If the browser libraries or ecma3 libraries are not there you can add them.
I currently use Eclipse as my IDE for other languages and I'm rather used to not having to leave the IDE for anything - however I'm really struggling to find the same or a similar setup for pure ECMAScript-262.
To clarify, I am not looking for DOM support, jquery, HTML or anything like that, preferably just an IDE with ECMAScript-262 support (pref node.js) built in (debugging not important) so that I can simply run my code in the IDE.
Any ideas?
ps: please don't suggest aptana.
jEdit is about what you want. Take a look at the plugins available.
So far, it seems there has only been talk about integrating node.js debugging with Google Chrome. But that may be exactly your answer if it happens.
If you don't mind to pay a price, I advice Jetbrains WebStorm.
Recently purchased a license myself (it's not that expensive) and am very happy with it.
Before I used Eclipse and Aptana, but seriously, WebStorm IS quality.
Not sure if I am currently breaking a rule by linking to a commercial product, but it IS an awnser ;)
There is Nodeclipse effort.

One-stop shop for Node.js tools. We can't develop everything at once,
but we let you know what are the best things around for Node.js
development with Eclipse.
Latest version is 0.4, works well in Eclipse 4.3 Kepler.
It has integrated ChromeDevTools and V8 remote debugger for debugging Node.js application,
that is quite useful when learning Node.js to understand what is happening in memory.
Also comes with markdown (.md) Editor (The same markup language that is used on GitHub, Stackoverflow.com & npm)
It is free open-source hosted on GitHub
I am using eclipse for java coding. Can I use JavaScript in eclipse? If yes, How to use it? Please give ideas.
I use the excellent Aptana studio eclipse plugin.
If you want to edit Javascript within Eclipse, just install the WTP (Web Tools Project), there is one in there. Edit: You cannot execute Javascript from within Eclipse, but you can use, for example, Firefox with Venkman or Firebug to run the actual file in a browser.
I just happened to read jQuery Intellisense Updates from Microsoft and was wondering if there was any editor or eclipse plugin available which provides intellisense complete or code assist. Are there any?
I believe eclipse, with the Aptana plugin, has some JQuery support.
As mentionned here, intellisense is supported:
5. Start coding.
As you type, notice that Code Assist is now active for the jQuery objects and functions that you use.
Press ctrl+space at any time to activate Code Assist.
Why not Visual Studio/Web Developer 2008 (or did I miss something)? The express edition is free.
You can use the standalone version of Aptana Studio, it's free and much lighter than the complete Eclipse.
Aptana provide Javascript code assist, but not intellisense.
True intellisense for Javascript currently provided only by three IDs:
NetBeans (open source)
IntelliJ Idea (proprietary web development)
MS Visual Studio (proprietary, free edition exist)
So the answer - NetBeans.
But, unfortunately none of these do this job well.
