It should be possible to create (clean) javascript projects like it is possible to create java projects. With clean I mean only javascript files without html, css ... With node.js (and others) the language Javascript evolves to a server language and such a thing could be useful. Also defining project and package structures would make sense. (And executing a simple script via 'node myjavascript.js' should also be possible via F6) At the moment am using the JavaWebApp project and put the javascript into a separate folder under 'Web Pages'. Additionaly for unit testing I am using http://pivotal.github.com/jasmine/ ALT+F6 and embedding the jasmine results into netbeans would be a great convenience
It would be also great to make debugging working out of the box
Can you take a look at the node.js plugin by Tim Boudreau? http://timboudreau.com/blog/NetBeans_Tools_for_Node_js/read
8.1 comes with nodeJS support so its probably time to resolve this one?
I mean to makr it as resolved and close.
You are right. This is implemented in the upcoming release. Thanks.
