Agreed. Node.js should be optional. It is optional in Visual Studio.
I¹m just worry that my Qt JavaScript users aren¹t thinking about node.js.
They¹re writing JavaScript that runs in the QtDeclarative run-time. So
they wouldn¹t thinking to install it. And popping up a wizard in the
middle of some seemingly unrelated workflow is a pretty awful experience.

provide a Eclipse Marketplace entry for this we can do things like adding
an optional node.js feature.
