Project Overview
The JavaScript Development Tools (JSDT) provide plug-ins that implement an IDE supporting the development of JavaScript applications and JavaScript within web applications. It adds a JavaScript project type and perspective to the Eclipse Workbench as well as a number of views, editors, wizards, and builders.

- JSDT Core - includes the parser, compiler, DOM and more.
- JSDT UI - includes all of the user interface bits to create the JavaScript IDE (wizard, dialogs, preferences, etc).
- JSDT Debug - includes support for debugging JavaScript using Rhino and Crossfire
- JSDT Web - any and all support for Client-side (web-pages) JavaScript, implemented in WTP's Source Editing project.
