Hello, I am Paul Verest, one of Nodeclipse contributors. I am Java developer adopting Node.js, ( and then PhantomJS and Nashorn Javascript) into my set of tools. In January 2013 I just started developing Node.js in Eclipse without any plugins, but then I came to the point "how to debug?". That lead me to know Nodeclipse 0.2 by Tomoyuki Inagaki, that by that time was fork in his own account. We unified 0.2 back into Nodeclipse organization, the rest can be seen in history. Try out next 0.7 version from this sources just by git clone, `mvn package' , then install from .zip (see Maven build below for more)

Check README.md in project modules (e.g. org.nodeclipse.debug ). See launching Node.js logic in LaunchConfigurationDelegate.java

Build

mvn package

Before release

mvn -Dtycho.mode=maven org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:set-version -DnewVersion=0.9.0-SNAPSHOT

see src/site/markdown/developing.md file

Maven build (using Tycho plugin) is headless build, that doesn't require Eclipse.

From Nodeclipse-1 base folder just run mvn package. Run offline when to re-build mvn clean package -o.

1. Locate zip file under org.nodeclipse.site\target in Project Explorer, StartExplore-> Copy Resource Path to Clipboard
2. Help -> Install New Software ...
3. Add...
4. Archive...
5. Insert copied string into name and path.
   E.g. C:\Users\pverest\git\nodeclipse-056\org.nodeclipse.site\target\org.nodeclipse.site-0.5.0-SNAPSHOT.zip

For the next time just select the zip entry from Work With drop-down list.

2. npm install http-server -g
3. http-server org.nodeclipse.site\target\repository -p 8010
4. start http://localhost:8010/
5. // navigate http://localhost:8010/ in browser to check
6. Help->Install New Software, enter http://localhost:8010/ in Work With

Below is long and a little bit old notes. You should better start with building yourself, checking http://www.nodeclipse.org that has all links.

Nodeclipse ( sources nodeclipse-1) is Eclipse plugin for the Node.js. The purpose of Nodeclipse is to create environment in which Node.js development is easy for any user from beginner to professional.

Check developers news and Maven generated documentation site

One-stop shop for Node.js tools.

We can't develop everything at once, but we let you know what are the best things around for Node.js development with Eclipse.

• Creating default structure for New Node Project and New Node Source File
• JavaScript Syntax highlighting
• Content Assistant
• NPM support
• Debugging - Breakpoint, Trace, etc... via Eclipse debugger plugin for V8
• Generating Express project
• Support for JSHint.
  Download site: http://github.eclipsesource.com/jshint-eclipse/updates/
• Support for Juno, Kepler

Drag and drop into a running Eclipse to install Nodeclipse,
or use Download site : http://www.nodeclipse.org/updates

For Markdown:

1. Window -> Show View -> Other... -> Markdown

2. Click inside "Markdown HTML Preview" view to refresh rendering

3. (Optional, may be useful because double whitespace is hard line break) Show whitespace character via Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors : checkbox labeled "Show whitespace characters"

   If [Node Express Project] menu does not appear under File->New, reset [Node] perspective by right-clicking on the [Node] button, which is located perspective switching area.

We use Semantic Versioning. Version is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, where

• MAJOR indicates substantially new release, possibly with API change
• MINOR indicates updates, that are fully backward-compatible
• PATCH indicates that is bug-fix

Please participate in discussion, propose and vote on new feature, on raise bugs on https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1/issues

UPDATE: Roadmap is defined by currently raised issues, voted ideas on uservoice, and desires of developers. Below is what was discussed in Spring 2013.

• #1 Kepler 4.3 support
• Improving Code Assist (new ideas needed)
• #26 Add CoffeeFileWizard
• Nodeclipse/www.nodeclipse.org#2 [Task] merge enide solution (hints, roadmap) and nodeclipse-blog into www.nodeclipse.org
• resource for developers Nodeclipse.github.io

• t#4 [Low priority enhancement] Option to Run project default module (taken from package.json), when righ-clicking project folder

• (Optional) Support for Sublime Text
• Improving Code Assist with convention-based completions.json
• JSquared Editor

Is expected together with Node.js 1.0

• Improving Code Assist

• Debugging features without Chrome developer tools. In other words, debugging on Node Editor

• Obfuscation and source-level debugging features using Source Maps

• Unit test support (how?)

• Easily deployment to Heroku (possibly via Heroku Eclipse plugin)
  Download site: https://eclipse-plugin.herokuapp.com/install

• Add Jade support (http://blog.wookets.com/2011/10/how-to-compile-coffeescript-jade-stylus.html Posted 30th October 2011 by Sean Wesenberg)

• Integrate console window (library unknown) -> currently can use StartExplorer (bundled with Enide)

• Add CoffeeScript support via coffeescript-eclipse plugin
  Download site: http://coffeescript-editor.eclipselabs.org.codespot.com/hg/
  (also requires XText. See CoffeeScriptSet.p2f in Enide for quick install)

• Eclipse Json Editor Plugin Last Update: 2012-11-07 (The JSON Editor is a simple plugin for the Eclipse IDE that provides:
  • Color text highlighting
  • An Outline Tree view
  • JSON validation
  • Text formatting - Text folding for the JSON data format.) No Update site.

1. If you edited or created file, add yourself as @author in JavaDoc or comments
2. Import CodeStyle_codetemplates.xml from Nodeclipse.github.io
   Instructions are inside the xml file.
   This will add @author in new files automatically. Use Ctrl+Alt+J to quickly insert in existing files.

If you forked into your account, after a while it is possible that code at original repository was updated.

With git command line you need to open project base folder, then

git remote add upstream https://github.com/Nodeclipse/project-you-forked.git  
git fetch upstream  
git merge upstream/master   
git push origin master  

With EGit you should do the same steps but within GUI.

1. Push to your remote origin (your account)
2. Open GitHub page for your fork
3. Press Pull Request
4. Review Commits on Commits tab
5. Write description, press Send pull request

Build from sources, install in Eclipse, give a try.
