I'm trying to get started with Nodeclipse. I would like to run and debug an AngularJS application, e.g. the angular-phonecat example from Eclipse.
In particular, I would like to
- use a Debug on Server launcher to start a server with my application and open a web browser (Firefox or Chromium).
- set a breakpoint in a JavaScript file in Eclipse
- click around in the web browser and have the Eclipse debugger stop at the breakpoint.
(The equivalent of this does work in NetBeans in a very intuitive way.)
From the Nodeclipse help, I don't see how to get started or whether this is possible at all.
I managed to run an debug a Node.js project with the Hello World template, but I don't see how to debug anything running in a web browser.
Does that require a Remote Javascript debug launcher? If so, how to use it?
Finally, I don't see how to actually run an AngularJS application in Nodeclipse. As far as I can tell, the AngularJS Eclipse plugin only implements editing features but does not deal with running and debugging. Do I need to turn the Angular project into a Node.js application? If so, how?
