Question

Is it possible to integrate Jquery with Eclipse/MyEclipse? By integrating i mean, if i am working on any JSP or HTML file and i include jquery.js, then it should automatically start code assitance / autocompletion.

Edited:

I don't want to use APTANA ( 127 mb plugin ). If there is other way round please let me know.

Answer 1

yes, using Aptana Studio. It has support for jQuery

Answer 2

Try Aptana, they have code completion for jQuery. You can use it standalone, or as an Eclipse plugin.

Answer 3

I have found a plugin jquerywtp to do the same. This plugin will just patch 'org.eclipse.wst.javascript.ui_xxxxxxx.jar'.

Note: it is for Jquery 1.2.6

Answer 4

I also did not want to download 127MB plugin, and I am doing a big PDT project in Eclipse so I was wary of a new perspective. I spent a bunch of time on Aptana and it never worked, so am sharing my steps to save someone else time. Note I have PDT installed already and some other notes say you have to install Aptana first. That doesn't help me too much.

1. Help > Install New Software
2. Add Aptana download site (http://update.aptana.com/install/studio/)
3. Important - Uncheck "Group Items By Category"
4. Select Aptana Web Development Tools (Subset of entire studio)
5. Complete Installation
6. On Restart of Eclipse you get a "Customize Aptana Studio" popup
7. Under AJAX Libraries select JQuery
8. Get "Aptana Support for jQuery"
9. Complete installation (second restart of Eclipse)
10. Open a JS file, Window - Open Perspective - Other - Aptana
11. Still doesn't work, so Window - Preferences - Aptana / Editors / JavaScript / Code Assist
12. Check JQuery
13. File Restart
14. File New Project - Aptana - Web Project
15. Create JS file and paste whatever you were working on here, or start new

I tried all kinds of stuff to get the code-complete to work, I copied over entire htm and js files, saved them, waited a long time after typing a period, etc.

Now I am going to work on uninstalling Aptana.
