I currently use Eclipse as my IDE for other languages and I'm rather used to not having to leave the IDE for anything - however I'm really struggling to find the same or a similar setup for pure ECMAScript-262.

To clarify, I am not looking for DOM support, jquery, HTML or anything like that, preferably just an IDE with ECMAScript-262 support (pref node.js) built in (debugging not important) so that I can simply run my code in the IDE.

Any ideas?

ps: please don't suggest aptana.

jEdit is about what you want. Take a look at the plugins available.

So far, it seems there has only been talk about integrating node.js debugging with Google Chrome. But that may be exactly your answer if it happens.

yup already had that node/chrome setup.. see: http://wiki.github.com/ry/node/using-eclipse-as-node-applications-debugger - as for JEdit, thanks will check it out in a moment!

If you don't mind to pay a price, I advice Jetbrains WebStorm.

Recently purchased a license myself (it's not that expensive) and am very happy with it. Before I used Eclipse and Aptana, but seriously, WebStorm IS quality.

Not sure if I am currently breaking a rule by linking to a commercial product, but it IS an awnser ;)

When I was doing Java development, I used Jetbrains IntelliJ IDEA, and it was the best Java IDE I'd ever used, especially with its support for refactoring things - with the web, you can refactor JavaScript, HTML; it has nice shortcut keys for wrapping things and selecting things. Definitely a worthwhile experience, and probably worth the cost. There's also an Open Source version. Not sure if the Open Source version is as good or not, might also be an alternative.

Open source IDEA does not contain the javascript refactoring tools. Just syntax highlighting.
