What IDE would you recommend for AngularJS, or even JavaScript development in general that has similar features like Eclipse for Java based development?
I have done some research on google, but the discussions are mostly outdated and wanted to check in SO to get a more relevant recommendation.
Any help or tips would be really appreciated. Thank you.
WebStorm is the best for Javascript, AngularJs and web development in general. You can create lot of user defined code helpers and can create controllers e.t.c easily with that.
You can continue to use Eclipse and install angularjs-eclipse, see https://github.com/angelozerr/angularjs-eclipse
I am co-author of Nodeclipse and Enide Studio, and we are working with Angelo (author of angularjs-eclipse) on including that plugin into Enide Studio. Also guys from JBoss expressed desire to include this plugin into JBoss Developer Studio, ref #28

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:

I'm used to Intellij to develop javascript but today (or in a short while), I'll need to develop it in Eclipse. A quick google search gave me JSEclipse and JSEditor.
I'm writing JS in JSPs, not necessarily in .js files (even if I might, too).
Among important criterias :
ctrl + click navigation between function declaration/calls
variable hightlighting
Synthax correction
Usual stuff I find in java development and that would be useful in javascript.
Hope this question isn't to general/subjective.
So what should I use ?
Thanks in advance
Try using Aptana Studio plugin for Eclipse. It contains all you need to work with Web Technology.

This will be helpfull. I got solution by this
Are there any options for compiling Flex/Flash projects into Javascript/JQuery? I seem to remember this feature possibly being part of Adobe's latest dev tools?
Check out http://www.jangaroo.net
Adobe is now working on Falcon(JS).
that would crosscompile Flex projects to JS.
http://blogs.adobe.com/bparadie/2011/11/19/what-is-falconjs/
Adobe has contributed the FalconJS proof-of-concept or prototype source code to Apache Flex. This is not a finished product, but some simple applications can be cross-compiled to JavaScript. The source code can be check out here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/flex/falcon/trunk/compiler.js/
FalconJS depends on the Falcon compiler, which has been contributed to the Apache Flex project as well, here is the wiki page with the build instructions for Falcon:
https://cwiki.apache.org/FLEX/falcon-overview.html
OpenLaszlo is an open-source development platform that can compile applications into either a Flash SWF or HTML5/DHTML (ie: HTML+JavaScrtipt). The syntax of the language consists of XML mixed with ActionScript/JavaScript:
http://www.openlaszlo.org/
Note:
ActionScript and JavaScript are both implementations of the ECMAScript language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript) and thus are nearly identical. Anyone familiar with programming in ActionScript or JavaScript should feel right at home with OpenLaszlo script.
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 need to find if there are any tools targeting both Visual Studio 2005 and JavaScript. I'm interested in plugins which will increase the quality of work done in VS2005 with JavaScript oriented development.
I think you'll be hard pressed to find anything specific for VS2005, since it is a dev environment and JS is a client technology. However, a couple of ideas you might want to consider:
jQuery. The recent availability of Intellisense for jQuery (although I think it is only for VS2008) helps your quality of work in the sense that you don't have to spend so much time looking back and forth at documentation, although I would say that is the best way to really become familiar with it anyway. There are several other good JS libraries out there, but (a) I don't think that was the point of your question, and (b) jQuery is the only one "semi-officially" supported in VS that I'm aware of.
Script#. Although I haven't used it, it looks interesting... basically you program in C#, and it gets translated to JS at runtime.
If you could afford it, I'll recommend upgrading to Visual Studio 2008. You can open .NET 2.0 application without converting them. It comes with much better Javascript Intellisense.
(source: scottgu.com)
One of the other JavaScript features in VS 2008 is the much-improved support for JavaScript debugging.
These features are enabled in both the free Visual Web Developer 2008 Express edition as well as in Visual Studio, and makes using JavaScript and building AJAX applications significantly easier.
If you are using jQuery in your applications, then you could install jQuery Intellisense in VS 2008.
Well, if you want something that will help you write better Javascript in Visual Studio then you can give JSLint a try. It's a plugin that will verify your Javascript code, spot errors, and help you debug it.
Beware, JSLint can hurt feelings.
