Javascript Editor for CCSv4

sgspecker

I was trying to setup an editor for javascript text files (.xs, .xdc, etc.) within "File Associations", but it appears there isn't one included with CCSv4. It seems with all the javascripts being used in CCSv4 that an editor which provides syntax highlighting would be included.

Can TI include one in the future; or, does TI have any suggestions for a javascript editor plugin?

You can try some of the plug-ins on Eclipse plug-in central: http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/

This one might work: http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web_Links-index-req-viewlink-cid-1372.html

I guess it makes sense to have JS editor and debugger with connection to DSS integrated into CCSv4 instead of using external Rhino debugger.

Having the separate Rhino Debugger still makes sense for people who do a custom install of DSS without the CCS GUI.

Thanks, I installed the plugin you suggested. After doing so, I was able to go to:

Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations

and associate the various TI javascript extensions (*.xdc, *.xs, *.bld) to this editor. After doing so, the files now show up with color-highlighted syntax. Personally, I wasn't so worried about debugging (which may be useful at some point), but wanted to make them easier to read and write.

Any chance we can add this feature to the baseline CCSv4?

Thanks,
Scott

I believe future versions of Eclipse will have support for javascript by default. So future versions of CCS will automatically pick this up.

In the meantime you'll have to simply add the plug-in yourself. We normally do not ship with 3P plug-ins but encourage people to use the Eclipse update manager.

Thanks
