Where is summary of plug-ins features? How to install plug-ins downlaoded in ZIP format? [message #219558]

Is there a web page somewhere that summarizes the features of all (many of)
the plug-ins? http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/modules.php comes close
but I was hoping for a table format where each row is a plug-in and each
column is a feature.

I'm am delighted to learn that the groovy plug-in now has the typing assist
feature and I am wondering what other languages besides java and groovy now
have the typing assist features.

I'm specifically interested in a javascript plug-in that has the typing
assist feature. I did a google search and found
http://jseditor.sourceforge.net/ and downloaded the zip files and was
dissappointed that there was not a URL I could type into eclipse so eclipse
could download and install the plugin.

So what do I do about these plug-ins that come in the form of a downloaded
zip file instead of a URL? It would sure be nice if they put the
instructions in the source forge download page.

Also, does anyone know of a C++ plug in that will give me the refactoring
features Java programmers have?

Thanks,
Siegfried

There are way too many Eclipse plug-ins for this to be even remotely
feasible.

My colleague told me there is also javascript support in WTP. So you
might want to try that out.

Well, you'll have to file an enhancement request over to them or email
the developers. Telling us doesn't really help. ;)

This article may be helpful.

I only know of one C++ plug-in, and that is the CDT. I have never used
it so I don't know what features it has, sorry.
http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/

I read that page and it looks like a list of proposed features.
I just did an update on WTP and apparently I'm up to date.

So I want to create a static web page with javascript in it and have eclipse
implementing the typing assist for the javascript code. I go to file ->
new-> ... where do I find new HTML file?

Thanks,
Siegfried
