Start Eclipse without Native Launcher

To start Eclipse 3.3 and later without native launcher use command like next:

java -jar plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 392M -framework plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.2.R34x_v20080826-1230.jar -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Xms128m -Xmx1024m

Notes:

• It could help to use specific JDK (for example, use x32 JVM on x64 platform)
  
• Example above is for Eclipse 3.4.1 (eclipse-jee-ganymede-SR1)
• Options are copied from eclipse.ini
• For other Eclipse version change plugins' jar file names

It is good to have some UML tools with JavaScript reverse-engineering feature.
The only one tool I found is JS/UML. But it was not working well for me.

Best JavaScript Editor

If you plan to edit JavaScript maybe next will be helpful for You...

In general I use Eclipse in my development and only if policy allows I use Idea.
Before having a new java project with a lot of JavaScript I asked skilled java developers...

What do You think about:

• best JavaScript editor;
• best free/open source JavaScript editor;
• best JavaScript editor as Eclipse plug-in?

Poll result:

• best JavaScript editor = IntelliJ IDEA
• best free/open source JavaScript editor = NetBeans
• best JavaScript editor as Eclipse plug-in = JSEclipse, Aptana Studio, Spket IDE

Eclipse internal JavaScript features:

• AJAX Toolkit Framework (ATF)
• JavaScript Development Tools
• Meet the JavaScript Development Toolkit
