How to write JavaScript in Eclipse - javascript

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.

Why is the JavaScript Viewer not showing in Eclipse Editor Selection?

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

JavaScript standalone IDE without browser?

So I have been looking for an IDE that allows me to run JavaScript just like Eclipse/VS would allow me to write Java/C#. I want to write some code and see the output on the console (possibly within the IDE itself), without having to open the browser. I know you can run JS programs from command line using node file.js. But I'm trying to avoid having to do that every time. I want to press a run button and see the results on the console. Is there something already out there. Can I configure my IDE in certain way to achieve that? Thanks in advance.
Take a look at Atom https://atom.io/ for the editor with embedded console and excellent JavaScript support (actually it's a browser inside).
Try Visual Studio Code, it is open source and free.
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/runtimes/nodejs
Try this:
Is there a javaScript engine where I can run my code without being forced to use a browser?
A lot of alternatives of command-line and engines to try js without the need of a browser.
You can debug browser js with any jetbrains IDE, however I find chrome to be much better for debugging browser code than the jetbrains plugin. You can easily debug node by editting your debug configurations in any jetbrains IDE. Just download the node plugin https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.1/running-and-debugging-node-js.html

Nodejs editor to work on eclipse

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:

Is there any software with intellisense for Javascript/jQuery?

I want to start learning jQuery, but there's so much you can do with it. I'm interested in using PHP as well.
I understand that Visual Studio has intellisense for Javascript, but isn't that for ASP.NET? Can you build PHP applications in Visual Studio?
There is Aptana Studio with such support as well as full featured PHP editor.
See:
Aptana Studio makes jQuery so much easier
Code Assist for jQuery
You can use Eclipse aptana studio in eclipse PDT. Plugging Aptana to eclipse. Aptana has some intellisense for jQuery but beware that it's not complete since Javascript is a dynamic language and it's difficult to get a complete one.
Buy my honest take on jQuery intellisense. If you want to be a jQuery expert dump the intellisense part. Javascript is a dynamic language and that is the reason why these editors never work as intended. I used VisualStudio recently and never got what I intended.
You can get Visual Studio to have intellisense for jQuery - see jQuery 1.4.1 Intellisense with Visual Studio on Scott Gutherie's blog. Not for VS 2008 you need to install this patch.
you can build any applications with visual studio, but visual studio is waste...
have a look at eclipse, aptana's js editor has jQuery autocompletion.

JavaScript syntax check in eclipse

I am developing a RIA application with JavaScript in Eclipse. How can I enable JavaScript syntax check in eclipse?
Both the Web Tools Platform (WTP) and Aptana offer a quite good JavaScript editor with syntax checking. I use the later myself.
Have you looked at JSEclipse or JavaScript Editor PlugIn for Eclipse?
If you are developing using ExtJS you can get even intellisense along with syntax check using spket.
