How to work with javascript? [message #91703]

Hi, I am using PDT for Drupal development. I can edit, debug.
However, I have two problems:

1. Javascript show a lot of warnings and errors. For example,
"function $ is undefined". "$" from jQuery and the jQuery library is
inside the project. How can I make PDT understand javascript?

2. In debugging, very consistently after the first two times going
through the debugger, subsequenctly I always get

"Error: A Runtime Error has occured. Do you want to debug? Line: 1
Error: Syntax error"

or

"Error: A Runtime Error has occured. Do you want to debug? Line: 132
Error: 'jQuery' is undefined"

Pressing "No" would get rid of these error dialogs and allow me to
continue to debug. However, everytime I hit another breakpoint, I
would get these errors again.

Does your project have both PDT and Javascript natures/builders? How did
you create/import the project? What's in the .project file?

My Eclipse install is the All-in-one PDT download from
www.eclipse.org/pdt version 2.0.0. I don't know about Javascript
natures/builders. Is this something I need to install? I installed
the JSEclipse plugin from Adobe.

I did a New PHP Project and point the project directory to the Drupal
install directory. I've try both enable/disable Javascript support.
In both case, debug give me this "Runtime Error...Syntax Error"
problem with javascript.

PDT is working for the most part for me. There is even a litle bit of
code completion: just a list of variables in the context. No
properties/methods like Java though. Can PDT do more fancy code
completion?

I did not realize JSEclipse has not been update for so long. I use
Amateras
( http://amateras.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/fswiki_en/wiki.cgi?pa ge=EclipseHTMLEditor)
for my Java work. It works really well for html/css/javascript. But
its latest version I can only make it work with Eclipse 3.3.x and not
with PDT Eclipse 3.4.1. I'm going to see if Amateras will be updated
for 3.4.1 before I try Aptana.
