Where can I find information about the JavaScript capabilities of Eclipse? I have tried searching for this information on the Eclipse site, but I have yet to find any detailed info.

What do you mean, "JavaScript capabilities?" Which version/package of Eclipse? – Matt Ball Apr 08 '11 at 14:31

Aptana Studio is a plug-in for Eclipse (or you can use it stand-alone) and it probably offers the best JavaScript support at the moment.

Also, this question is basically the same as JavaScript editor within Eclipse

JavaScript Development Toolkit (JSDT) is an open source plug-in for Eclipse. JSDT streamlines development, simplifies code, and increases productivity for pure JavaScript source files and JavaScript embedded in HTML.

I have installed the eclipse for PHP developer package and it has js support.
NOTE : I use eclipse for a lot of stuff (PHP, Java, Javascript-ajax, HTML, Clojure, ..) and I have found out the very hard way that installing several versions of eclilpse is easier than install loads of sometimes conflicting plugins...
