    text
    copied!<p>The default <code>javascript</code> editor for <code>Eclipse</code> has very poor <code>outlining</code> and <code>code completion</code>. As a result of this, for any modern javascript application like <code>ExtJS</code> or <code>NodeJS</code> where you need to write a lot of object literal statements, Eclipse becomes pretty useless. And it is <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11309953/eclipse-javascript-editor-2012-with-full-outliner-support">impossible to ask</a> how to do this properly.</p> <p>Now I found that <a href="https://www.ebayopensource.org/index.php/VJET/HomePage" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ebay Open Source</a> seems to have tools that are specifically designed to replace this flaw in the standard editors, both for javascript in general as <a href="https://www.ebayopensource.org/index.php/VJET/NodeJS" rel="nofollow noreferrer">for NodeJS specifically</a>.</p> <p>Installing the normal NodeJS <code>V8 debugger</code> on a default <code>WDT</code> install of <code>Eclipse</code> <a href="https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Using-Eclipse-as-Node-Applications-Debugger" rel="nofollow noreferrer">is pretty straightforward</a>, and apart from setting up some <a href="http://code.google.com/p/chromedevtools/wiki/FeatureDebugOnRealFiles" rel="nofollow noreferrer">script mapping</a>, it's easy to get to work.</p> <p>But when I tried installing <code>VJET</code>, stuff just didn't work. No code assist at all, no debugging anymore, nothing. VJET mode was set as default for debugging and stuff, but when I couldn't get it to work, I couldn't find any option to switch back to normal Eclipse/JS Editor/V8 Debugger either. Even when I removed all VJET stuff, my Eclipse installation was bombed and a complete wipe of the workspace and home configuration + downloads finally fixed this.</p> <p>So I was hoping that anyone could explain: <strong>What are the exact steps to getting VJET to work for Node.JS development in Eclipse</strong>, and possibly how can one switch between 'VJET' mode and 'default' mode?</p>
