Javascript IDE, does one exist?

[DoubleDangerClub]

I need to find an awesome Javascript IDE that supports auto-support, line highlighting, line numbers, and possible working integerated with HTML code (seems like a "duh" request, but the ones I've found don't have that). Anyone know of any awesome javascript editors?? I'm at a loss.

Dreamweaver? :roll:

Dreamweaver? :roll:
I don't believe Dreamweaver is compatible with Ubuntu. :roll:

This looks pretty decent - http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadproscreen.html but there must be 1001 text editors (which is essentially what you want) with syntax highlighting etc. for linux. That, plus a copy of Firefox (for it's Javascript debugger) and you should be set.

Try Quanta. It's in the universe/multiverse repositories. Only problem is that is KDE, but I still use it on Gnome because it's the best for anything web related. :)

Bluefish? :-)

I thought firefox had one builtin? Never used it though. I would be amazed if there wasn't a plugin for it though....

Isn't that what Eclipse is? Java IDE? Though it looks like it's not in the Ubuntu repositories, but there are packages in the Debian Sid ones.

He wasn't speaking of Java; he was talking about Javascript.

Late, reply but hey...
Checkout the javascript support in IDEA editor by Jetbrains, its better than anything else out there.
Sadly, not free.

My favorite is 1st JavaScript Editor (http://yaldex.com/JSFactory_Pro.htm)

Aptana (www.aptana.com) is by far the best Javascript IDE I've seen. Just look at their site and what all the videos showing how to use their features.

I have not used IDEA by JetBrains, but it does not look as good as aptana.

Aptana is free, runs on Windows, Linux, and MAC, and they will soon release the source.

It can be installed as an Eclipse plugin or standalone (which is really a separate Eclipse install with the aptana plugin (and no other ones).

Altough I managed to run Dreamweaver 8 on Ubuntu via wine, I choose Aptana also.

Just made packages for Ubuntu as their installer is tricky.

Give it a try and let me know.

I just installed Aptana using your installer and it worked flawlessly.

Good to know!. I just created a simple Ubuntu repository for that.

Details on the aptana.com post.

No is not. You can runing using wine, a windows emulation layer, but it does not work very well.

There are javascript plugins for both eclipse and also netbeans now.

I use Vim for editing and syntax highlighting, and FireBug (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1843/) for debugging, perhaps you're looking for a more integrated solution, but believe me this combo rocks!

Of course, you may replace Vim with any code editor of your choice, Scite (http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html) works well too.
