If you are talking about tern.java, you not need to install node.js, because tern.java provides an embed node.js that it is installed according your OS (thnaks JBoss guys!). In other words, when you install tern.java can be used even if you have not node.js which is installed.

You could show a nice helpful wizard to tell them about how to install node when necessary, that would take their OS into account to give detailed instructions.
Maybe even such a wizard guiding them in the installation of node could be part of JSDT. Not sure about that IP-wise (ie is an Eclipse product allowed to promote installation of a 3rd party lib which is a pre-req?)

I think it would be cool to package up tern.java into a bundle that runs on Nashorn that we can start working with and see if we can extend it for QML. I’ll see if I can spring some cycles to help with that if it hasn’t already been done.

See https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/issues/33#issuecomment-66038543 for some known limitations.
