[javascript] JavaScript Editor Plugin for Eclipse

Is there an Eclipse plugin available for JavaScript that allows for syntax checking and autosuggestions for .js files in Eclipse?

This question is related to javascript eclipse eclipse-plugin

The answer is


Think that JavaScriptDevelopmentTools might do it. Although, I have eclipse indigo, and I'm pretty sure it does that kind of thing automatically.


In 2015 I would go with:

  • For small scripts: The js editor + jsHint plugin
  • For large code bases: TypeScript Eclipse plugin, or a similar transpiled language... I only know that TypeScript works well in Eclipse.

Of course you may want to keep JS for easy project setup and to avoid the transpilation process... there is no ultimate solution.

Or just wait for ECMA6, 7, ... :)

and autosuggestions for .js files in Eclipse?

  1. Use JSDoc more as JSDT has nice support for the standard, so you will get more suggestions for your own code.
  2. There is new TernIDE that provide additional hints for .js and AngulatJS .html. Get them together as Anide from http://www.nodeclipse.org/updates/anide/

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
