I’m new to Eclipse, and have the following question:
I would like to use Eclipse to program java and javascript. I went to eclipse.org and downloaded “Eclipse for Java Developers”, though there was also an option to download “Eclipse for JavaScript developers”.
So the question is: How do I extend my “Eclipse for Java Developers” to include the JavaScript capabilities included in “Eclipse for JavaScript developers” ?
Is that even possible ?
Thank you !
Install Eclipse’s WTP (Web Tools Platform) using the update site featured on the following page: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/.
To do this, you should:
1) Open up the software updates dialog (Help -> Install New Software…);
2) Click the ‘Add’ button;
3) Enter a suitable name (WTP), and the aforementioned URL;
4) Select whichever releases of WTP you would like to install;
5) Press ‘Next’ and follow the rest of the instructons.
(Note: The WTP update site may already be in the list of available sites in the Available Software dialog, so you should probably check before installing from scratch.)
