Technote Details :: JSEclipse is not starting when editing a Javascript file

Issue

The JSEclipse plugin is installed but when opening a JavaScript file there is no syntax highlighting, outline or code completion available.

Reason

Eclipse is not configured properly.

Solution

There are two possible solutions for this problem.

  1. JSEclipse is not enabled. Go to Help/Software Updates/Manage Configuration/. In the dialog's toolbar make sure that the third button (Show Disabled Features) is pressed. If JSEclipse is disabled please enable it.
  2. JSEclipse is not set as the default JavaScript editor. Go to Window/Preferences.../ and then General/Editors/File Associations/. Search for *.js entry in the right list and make sure that JSEclipse is the default editor.

In addition to the above reasons why JSEclipse may not function properly, JSEclipse appears to only provide outlining and code completion on JS files that are referenced within an Eclipse project. If you are opening a JS file that does not belong to an Eclipse project, import it into an available project, then open it.
