Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201302132200) Allow in HTML Project a WebPage like in PHP Project (Or allow in PHP Project Properties JavaScriptFiles like in HTML Project properties) A WebPage or better Template should support different syntax e.g <%, {{ or whatever Actual a PHP web page needs <?php to get code completion In summary provide a new project type that is more sophisticated for serverside Javascript development, testing, debugging, building etc, e.g for nodejs, ...
There is http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/36653/nodejs which does provide a separate project type, completely based around the package.json file. Unfortunately on my install (NB 8.0 Build 201403101706) the editor won't activate full ecmascript support (i.e. code-completion "No suggestions") with that - otherwise it's neat imho, i use it to generate and manage anything that doesn't require a full HTML5 project type, but a package.json and git integration. So, summarizing the top-requirements: - a project type with basic package management capabilities like the one the plugin provides (perhaps integrate the plugin into netbeans) - full ecmascript 5+ support enabled as a priority - include library stubs with js doc for core nodejs features (require, fs, ...) - other html5 / css per features per ondemand activation (if feasible deactivate by default) - basic debugging / tracing features Excluding the last requirement this sounds like the pieces of the puzzle are already there to be put together by someone who knows (or can advice) how.
