[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: javascript dependency

[Shawn Clark <shawn_d_clark@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matthew,

Unfortunately this isn't a problem with PDT per say. It is a problem 
with the way the project is setup in Eclipse and there is additional 
steps needed to make sure the Javascript interpreter knows that you are 
using jQuery. I am currently in the same process of getting Drupal 
projects JS files working with Eclipse. If you do a web search for 
"eclipse jquery" you will see some documentation on the topic. I haven't 
found a great step-by-step guide to do this setup yet. In the general 
sense you have to include the the javascript files within the misc 
directory as an included files to the project even if you aren't 
interacting with it directly. So jquery.js and drupal.js would be two 
files as included scripts available to the other javascript files.

If / when I find a good guide to getting jQuery working in Eclipse I 
will post it here.
