JavaScript Editor Plugin for Eclipse

Question

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

User · Answer

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 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

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
