Debugging JavaScript with Eclipse


What is the best way to debug javascript from the eclipse IDE. I used "logging to console" features of firebug with firephp installed on top of it for debugging a kohana php project along with eclipse but they make the browser unstable when I make extensive use of jQuery. For example, "Permission denied to...a non-chrome context..." is one such error that is frequent in firebug.


Solution

  • You can try ATF (Ajax Tools Framework)

    ATF provides tooling that allows a user to edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript applications and a framework on which adopters can build advanced and technology specific tools.
    The functionality in ATF breaks down into three main areas:

    • Browser Tooling, JsConsole
    • JavaScript Debugger DebuggerBreakpoints
    • extensions for adopters

    See this demo, the ATF Help page, and this thread.
