Developing HTML5 application with Eclipse IDE

Question

I am looking for a good IDE for developing HTML5 applications. I understand that I can do that with Eclipse, which I already use in my developments.

Currently I use Eclipse Helios Release. Should I download Eclipse Helios Service Release 2, in order to develop HTML5 (with JS)?

Is there anything else I need? Also - can you recommend me good tutorials for developing HTML5 applications with Eclipse?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I guess there's always Dreamweaver... been using it since 10+ years. Hevan't tried with html5 yet but should work - at least you get a WYSIWYG editor, somethign I haven't seen in Eclipse yet :-(

Answer 2

Actually, I think eclipse would be best suited for HTML5 development since I find it more responsive than Aptana. You also have the advantage of working with Java, PHP, Ruby, and Python server-side scripting in the same IDE you use to develop HTML5 apps. For me that is a must since a lot of code on my sites lay on the server-side for managing posts and such. Go for aptana, just install the software from the repository and you're good to go. Also install the Javascript, PHP, and web installations.

Answer 3

You can look at www.html5rocks.com for more information about HTML5. Its developed and maintained by google.

Answer 4

Have you looked at Aptana? It's a web-development IDE based on Eclipse. I've used it for web development in Javascript and HTML, but not specifically HTML5.
