Eclipse: which plugins for HTML & Javascript? - javascript

Which plugins do you use for editing (with syntax highlighting) HTML & Javascript in Eclipse 3.5?

Spket is a great plugin for JavaScript. For HTML, I normally just use the default XML/HTML editor that comes with Eclipse WTP which is good enough for my purposes. Depending on which Eclipse distro you downloaded, you may already have this

I've heard Aptana is great, but I have not used it personally.

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 / jQuery don't work in Eclipse

I don't want to provide a source code because the same code works perfectly on a different PC or on a different eclipse version. The project is a Java EE project with servlets and JSP-s, and I want to use some js functions in a JSP file. How can I set my eclipse to understand and execute jQuery and JavaScript functions? BTW I have installed JSDT jQuery on my eclipse but still doesn't work. Thank you.
Have you searched for a plug-in?
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/jsdt-jquery was the last I've seen. See if you can find the version of JQuery you're using on that site.
Disclaimer, I'm the author of tern.java
I suggest you that you install tern.java which extends JSDT Editor and provides a jQuery support
and too jQuery completion for CSS selectors

Eclipse plugin for javascript development in jsp?

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.

CheckStyle-like Eclipse-plugin for CSS and JavaScript?

I'm currently writing on some coding and style guidelines regarding JavaScript and CSS parts of projects. Eclipse offers some basic functionality in this area for situations where code is generated but is there also something en-par with CheckStyle for at least marking guideline-violations as warnings/errors?
Or how do you handle coding guidelines with JS and CSS?
I use JSLint for my JavaScript coding guidelines, and it looks as if there's a JSLint plugin for Eclipse here
try this check style module for JavaScript: https://github.com/davepacheco/jsstyle
In Eclipse you get JS Hint for the JavaScript check-style , you can install in your eclipse .

How to write JavaScript in Eclipse

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.
