What's new in Eclipse 4.3 Kepler

Open this link after starting Eclipe Kepler, or just Help -> Help Contents or Help -> Welcome

  • Better multi-monitor support with Detached windows
  • Performance enhancements
  • Initial Eclipse 4 API released

Recommendations

Sources

Put all sources under src folder.

This will help to separate project code from libraries code.

Or even better organize as src/main and src/test

VJET

Paul has tried VJET 0.10.0 together with Nodeclipse.

Eclipse configuration

Use default simple Eclipse configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
	<name>NodeExpressProject1</name>
	<comment></comment>
	<projects>
	</projects>
	<buildSpec>
	</buildSpec>
	<natures>
		<nature>org.nodeclipse.ui.NodeNature</nature>
	</natures>
</projectDescription>

This one configuration below can produce beautiful picture, see below, but Unfortunately it fails after packages download into node_modules.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
	<name>NodeExpressProject1</name>
	<comment></comment>
	<projects>
	</projects>
	<buildSpec>
		<buildCommand>
			<name>org.eclipse.vjet.eclipse.core.builder</name>
			<arguments>
			</arguments>
		</buildCommand>
	</buildSpec>
	<natures>
		<nature>org.nodeclipse.ui.NodeNature</nature>
		<nature>org.eclipse.vjet.core.nature</nature>
	</natures>
</projectDescription>

Other order of natures causes build error (and irrevocably spoils project layout) :

Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'VJET Script Builder' on project 'NodeExpressProject1'.
-3	

So stick to 1st example provided.

View in VJET perspective

This only works until packages download into node_modules.

VJET [JavaScript] Editor has outline (seen on the first picture).

For VJET Editor context assist check wiki.

VJET also comes with good Eclipse Help (Help -> Help contents).

Running Node.js project is NOT currently supported, so you need to switch back to Node perspective.

VJET browsing perspective doesn't support Node projects without vjet nature. But with vjet nature, it again gets blurred, after packages download into node_modules.

VJET conclusion

Only editor can do some help.
