I was digging through a bunch of javascript code today and trying to trace out some variables. In JSEclipse, an eclipse plugin made by Interakt(newly in the Adobe fold), if you highlight a variable name, or a property name, it not only highlights all instances in the file, it also places little markers for each instance on the right hand gutter of the IDE. A quick mouse click jumps right to the instance. I’ve used JSEclipse for a little while now, but this was the first I noticed this handy feature.
This particular JS file was well over 700 lines and I needed all the help I can get. Thank you Interakt for JSEclipse.
There are plenty of other nice features in the JSEclipse plugin such as:
- Contextual code completion
- Suggest parameters to be filled
- Reads all classes in current project
- Scan current file for words
- Syntax Highlighting
- Syntax based code folding
- Error reporting
