node.js in Eclipse - which plugin(s) are most people using?
I'm mostly interested in server-side web development, though being able to redeploy some bits in Chrome would be nice.
I am currently running Eclipse Indigo on Ubuntu for developing mostly Java/Scala programs and to use git.
So far I've come across http://code.google.com/p/chromedevtools/ and https://www.ebayopensource.org/index.php/VJET/HomePage, but not sure which is preferable.
