Note

• I have moved away from using Eclipse for Node development.
• The nodeclipse version is very old and that does not work with latest versions of Node if you want to use the debugger (e.g. --debug vs. --inspect etc)
• I have started to use Visual Source Code for JavaScript/Node/ReactJS development work.

Background

I use Homebrew to install most of the items on Mac. To setup Eclipse development environment for Node, you need to install Node and nvm.

Prerequisite

Before you continue, please read Eclipse Setup

Install node and nvm on your MacOS

  $ brew install node
  $ brew install nvm

Follow thru the instruction to configure nvm. Make sure you source the .bash_profile file.

  You should create NVM's working directory if it doesn't exist:
    mkdir ~/.nvm
  Add the following to
  ~/.bash_profile or your desired shell configuration file:
    export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
    . "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh"
  You can set $NVM_DIR to any location, but leaving it unchanged from
  /usr/local/opt/nvm will destroy any nvm-installed Node installations upon upgrade/reinstall.

Install nodeclipse

Use npm to install the package

  $ npm install -g nodeclipse
  /usr/local/bin/nodeclipse -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nodeclipse/bin/nodeclipse.js
  /usr/local/bin/nci -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nodeclipse/bin/nci.js
  /usr/local/bin/epm -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nodeclipse/bin/epm.js
  /usr/local/lib

Install Enide Studio

This is a comprehensive package for JavaScript development from Eclipse Marketplace (via Help menu)

You can start a new project You can convert an exiting artifacts to Eclipse Project if ~/Development/workspace/jsproject is your folder where all the JavaScript artifacts (code etc.), then use the sample command below to convert the folder content to a Eclipse project

  $ cd ~/Development/workspace/jsproject
  $ nodeclipse -g
  In Eclipse/Enide select File -> Import... -> General / Existing Projects into Workspace
  and enter project directory: /Users/rajiv/Development/jsproject
