Hi.
Now that I finally got webtools to work (it was my fault, I didn't
realize I needed all those zip files) I played with it a little bit and
here are my impressions:
1. Nice to have the standard objects recognized and have autocompletion
for (e.g. document and its methods).
2. I wish I could define something similar to a classpath so that
Eclipse will know about classes and functions from other files.
3. I wish it had a JavaScript engine that could actually interpret
JavaScript files and state if there is an error in the code. That would
be amazing.
Admittedly, my JavaScript work is more structured than most usages of
JavaScript (function here and there to make a site 'cool'), as I am
using a UI toolkit called Bindows (www.bindows.net) that provides a fat
client like development model for web facing rich applications, and as
such has an extensive class library (similar in spirit to Delphi, MFC
and others) thus the capabilities I am describing would be invaluable
for me.
May be such a feat could be created by manual definition of libraries of
JavaScript files and having them run through an embedded Internet
Explorer or Gecko engine, or making use of code like httpunit.
JavaScript support in Eclipse is still better than what I currently have
in IntelliJ, but doesn't really make the difference for me as I don't
really use the standard JavaScript objects, as those are abstracted or
meaningless when developing with Bindows.
I know that Bindows people are looking at the opportunity to have an IDE
so the features described above may interest them too, but also anyone
working in JavaScript with respect to the object oriented powerful
language it is rather than some bottom of the food chain language for
DHTML gizmos...).

jars" button you can browse for jars in other directories than the Eclipse
one.

No, not really, but thanks for the tip.
I was looking for a JavaScript parallel, i.e. if I have a.js and b.js
that define a class a and class b I want autocompletion that will be
aware of those, especially if b extends a.
Yes, all of it is possible quite nicely in JavaScript.

IntelliJ and it seems to have some things that Eclipse doesn't at the

- It auto inserts brackets and parenthesis
- It auto completes function parameter names in addition to inner variables.
- It can comment / uncomment lines or blocks in JS files.
I feel both IntelliJ and Eclipse are beginning to scratch the surface in
JavaScript support, it will be very interesting to see the status of
this in a year or even 6 months...

Sorry, it's html/jsp editor function.
I've made a mistake because I'm editing javascript in html/jsp files.
