    <p>I have difficulties coding in JavaScript with Netbeans. I can't see beforehand:</p> <ul> <li>my mistypes,</li> <li>relations between classes, functions and variables (dependency, parents-children etc.), </li> <li>javadocs references (both original and imported for libraries).</li> </ul> <p>THE PROBLEM is in:</p> <ul> <li>heavy debugging because of primitive mistype and the use of irrelative substances;</li> <li>time consuming browsing to find help for the context.</li> </ul> <p>I TRIED:</p> <ul> <li>Netbeans 7.4 (some basic Ctrl+Space lookup is supported, but very limited and usually useless);</li> <li>Eclipse 3.8 (no context support);</li> </ul> <p>These IDEs provide adjustable autoformatting and text mark-up (braces, clever tabs, text colors etc.) This is all very helpful, but insufficient. After having to migrate from Java to JavaScript for job routines, I now understand how much work had I automized and saved coding Java. I just feel I'm missing Ctrl+Space after a dot for Javadoc and Ctrl+LeftClick to navigate to declaration. It results in more time creating similar things in code.</p> <p>THE QUESTION IS:</p> <ul> <li>How to get JavaScript language docs for Netbeans?</li> <li>How to make Netbeans show relations between classes, variables and functions so that I don't see what can't be done from this context? For JavaScipt like it does for Java?</li> </ul> <p><a href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/JavaScript" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Here</a> are Netbeans JavaScript snapshots with everything that's needed. Where is that all? I don't see it in my IDE:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dvDOh.png" alt="No docs for JS Platform"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZisU6.png" alt="No quick fixes and semantic checks"></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZtEDp.png" alt="Type anything after a dot and get no error that no such method is allowed."></p>
