Why is the JavaScript Viewer not showing in Eclipse Editor Selection?

I am currently trying to code on Eclipse using JavaScript, but I am having a lot of troubles when tying to add JavaScript to Eclipse. I followed the instructions on this website (JavaScript Editor Plugin for Eclipse), and everything was going well until step 9 of the first part. JavaScript Viewer is not one of the offered options in Editor Selection. I am very confused as to what to do. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance :)

Version: Eclipse Oxygen on MacOS. Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a)

FYI -- I ran into this problem with the latest version of eclipse [2020-06(4.16.0)]. It turns out they removed the Javascript editor from the install. See ref here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=564496

You could give the latest Eclipse IDE for JavaScript and Web Developers bundle a try.

It provides:

The essential tools for any JavaScript developer, including JavaScript, HTML, CSS, XML languages support, Git client, and Mylyn.

With this recent (2018) version of Eclipse, you should get a working JS-enabled IDE pretty fast as this is pre-bundled for the use-cases you are looking for:

  • JavaScript Development Tools
  • Eclipse XML Editors and Tools
  • [..]

Hope it helps.
