JavaScript Editor Plugin for Eclipse [duplicate]
Complete the following steps in Eclipse to get plugins for JavaScript files:
- Open Eclipse -> Go to "Help" -> "Install New Software"
- Select the repository for your version of Eclipse. I have Juno so I selected
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
- Expand "Programming Languages" -> Check the box next to "JavaScript Development Tools"
- Click "Next" -> "Next" -> Accept the Terms of the License Agreement -> "Finish"
- Wait for the software to install, then restart Eclipse (by clicking "Yes" button at pop up window)
- Once Eclipse has restarted, open "Window" -> "Preferences" -> Expand "General" and "Editors" -> Click "File Associations" -> Add ".js" to the "File types:" list, if it is not already there
- In the same "File Associations" dialog, click "Add" in the "Associated editors:" section
- Select "Internal editors" radio at the top
- Select "JavaScript Viewer". Click "OK" -> "OK"
To add JavaScript Perspective: (Optional)
10. Go to "Window" -> "Open Perspective" -> "Other..."
11. Select "JavaScript". Click "OK"
To open .html or .js file with highlighted JavaScript syntax:
12. (Optional) Select JavaScript Perspective
13. Browse and Select .html or .js file in Script Explorer in [JavaScript Perspective] (Or Package Explorer [Java Perspective] Or PyDev Package Explorer [PyDev Perspective] Don't matter.)
14. Right-click on .html or .js file -> "Open With" -> "Other..."
15. Select "Internal editors"
16. Select "Java Script Editor". Click "OK" (see JavaScript syntax is now highlighted )
Think that JavaScriptDevelopmentTools might do it. Although, I have eclipse indigo, and I'm pretty sure it does that kind of thing automatically.
JavaScript that allows for syntax checking
JSHint-Eclipse
and autosuggestions for .js files in Eclipse?
- Use JSDoc more as JSDT has nice support for the standard, so you will get more suggestions for your own code.
- There is new TernIDE that provide additional hints for .js and AngulatJS .html. Get them together as Anide from

As Nodeclipse lead, I am always looking for what is available in Eclipse ecosystem. Nodeclipse site has even more links, and I am inviting to collaborate on the JavaScript tools on GitHub
