Pure-JavaScript projects in NetBeans?

Question

This seems like it ought to be obvious, yet I can't figure it out.

I do a lot of JavaScript coding, and I really like NetBeans. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to create a "JavaScript" project in NetBeans. If I go to File -> New Project, my only options are "Java", "Ruby", and "NetBeans Modules". I don't want any of these. My project consists mostly of JavaScript, with a little bit of CSS.

I ususally just end up creating a "Ruby" project, but this seems retarded, since I don't actually have any Ruby code. Why isn't there an option to create a "JavaScript" or "Web" project, or at least a "Generic" project that doesn't revolve around a specific language?

Am I missing something here?

Answer 1

Don't believe there is a Javascript project option. Netbeans just includes a Javascript editor.

Perhaps have a look at Eclipse and Aptana plugin.

Answer 2

Tools -> Favorites allows you to work out of arbitrary directories in NetBeans. You won't be able to "Run" your program or anything like that but you can edit files without having a Project.

Answer 3

Sadly there's no option for a pure JavaScript project. Personally I use the PHP template as it seems adequate.

I suppose if you really want a proper project type, you have to implement it yourself.
