I started learning node.js, configured plugins for node.js in eclipse. What should I set in "Node monitor Path" field in windows preference under Nodeclipse settings?

This function was add in Nodeclipse 0.6, but no feedback came on how it should be. Authors are not using this features, so as of Nodeclipse 0.12, all monitors were not tested. see http://www.nodeclipse.org/history So hopefully more answers show how to do that.

Launching logic is in https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1/blob/master/org.nodeclipse.debug/src/org/nodeclipse/debug/launch/LaunchConfigurationDelegate.java#L147-162

Nodeclipse is free open-source project that grows with your contributions. Do not expect authors to do features they themselves do not use. Once there is person raising the issue and willing to follow it, it gets solved.

There is built-in and online Help:
Press F1 -> Contents -> Nodeclipse Help - Monitor page

Select monitor

They all have similar command line

forever [action] [options] SCRIPT [script-options]
nodemon [your node app]
node-dev foo.js
supervisor [options]

Below are some remarks about GitHub stars:

After installing with npm install * -g, browse for CLI file

e.g. C:\Users\weibl\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\forever\bin\forever

Configure path to your source file monitor in Preferences -> Nodeclipse -> Node monitor path

So as you can notice Help also grows when issue are raised and solved. Check Tasks view in Eclipse not showing TODOs? for example
