Set up Node for Eclipse on Windows

A quick note on setting up The Node JS plugin for eclipse.
The plug in is fine but it is often better to have a client eclipse & a server eclipse at the same time & these are easier if they have different tool sets installed.

  1. Install ENIDE - Actually NODEECLIPSE http://www.nodeclipse.org/enide/
    Download and install in the same way as any usuall eclipse install. (Unzip to your selected folder)
  2. Install note JS - Down load the Node installer:
    https://nodejs.org/download/
    Follow isnstructions on the screens
  3. Configure your windows path - Add an envirion ment variable NODE_HOME to be the path you just installed to to.
    Add the text ;%NODE_HOME% to your PATH environment variable.
  4. Configure Path to NodeJS in eclipse - In Node Eclipse (ENIDE) add the new node instaltion under
    Preferences-->Nodeclipse
    Edit box "Node.js path";
And that is about it.
