I have downloaded Eclipse IDE for Web and JavaScript Developers package of 2020-06 version. But while creating project I am not seeing "JavaScript Project" option upon doing "File >> New". Can anyone please help me out?

As of that release, you no longer need a distinct JavaScript Project and its associated Include Path and other options, as JavaScript support is primarily coming from the Wild Web Developer project. WWD provides features to the Generic Editor, and doesn't place any requirements on the file to be in a particular folder in a special kind of project. Ideally, you just create a JavaScript file and start coding without needing to tell Eclipse anything about your project that you're not already setting up otherwise.

If you are unable to create a Static Web Project, I recommend:
- double check your installed software - do you have all the sub-packages for Web Development?
- take a look at the CodeMix project (also installable through the Eclipse market place) - its a commercial product but may have what you need in there.

What does [Eclipse Wild Web Developer](https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper) (which is now built-in) have that the commercial product you advertise does not have (except the bugs, high CPU, memory and disk space usage and that it spies on you)? – howlger Jul 11 '20 at 08:59

The following steps worked:
To get back the JSDT JavaScript editor you have to uninstall Eclipse Wild Web Developer and install JavaScript Development Tools from the Eclipse IDE 2020-03 release.
Uninstall Eclipse Wild Web Developer: In Help > About Eclipse IDE: Installation Details, in the Installed Software tab select Eclipse Wild Web Developer and click Uninstall
Install JavaScript Development Tools from the 2020-03 release: In Help > Install New Software... work with https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-03 and choose JavaScript Development Tools to install

This worked for me, too. After spending a few hours trying to get Wild Web Developer working (I couldn't even get it to do syntax highlighting, and I was using the generic text editor as suggested), I decided that I had actual work to get done and reinstalled the JavaScript Development tools from 2020-03. I'm sure WWD is a fine project, but rolling it out as an eclipse update without at least providing clear instructions about getting it to work seems like bad development practice. I just don't have time to learn Eclipse development in order to get this working. – the klaus Sep 21 '20 at 18:43
