[Solved]-node.js in Eclipse - which plugin(s) are most people using?-eclipse

As of Eclipse Neon (May 2016), Supports for Node.js comes as part of the JSDT.

The only prereqs are the installation of Node.js and npm.

I would recommend Aptana Studio (www.aptana.com/).

It's quite complete for javascript development besides it doesn't have node.js "direct support

It can be installed both as a standalone application or an Eclipse Plugin.

I've been using it for server and client development and works great for both.

Try Microsoft WebMatrix 2

It is free and has intellisense.

What I have tried

• VJET contains lot a bugs (in coloration, auto-competition ...). Could be better after a few updates. Node.js support is quite not up to date.
• Eclipse Web Tools does no support node functions
• NodeClipse http://www.nodeclipse.org/
• Netbeans have a NodeJS plugin. Looks quite complete.

The chrome dev tools is just a debugger (and some chrome related utilities), not a fully usable IDE.

So far I would strongly not to use Eclipse for node.js project.

I'm using Sublime Text 2 for a while, and I'm very happy with it (And it has a node.js plugin).

There is Nodeclipse.org effort. Current version is 0.16 update site is
