Thanks, guys.

I checked Rhino and SpiderMonkey but as I use Windows and yet don't have
MS Visual Studio (I have Borland's BCC55, cygwin, and lcc none of which
worked; I also don't have Java, and spent hours trying to download the 50
MB thing as I got interrupted twice right at the end), I couldn't compile
them. I don't see why they don't make compiled versions available.

Any links where I can spot the binaries of these, David?

Rhino's current Java binaries (.jar) are located at:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/rhino1_6R7.zip

Link to latest binaries lives athttp://www.mozilla.org/rhino/download.html

Unzip them into the folder of your choice, open a command prompt, cd
into the folder, then run

java -jar js.jar

You can create a file "js.bat" with the single line

@java -jar <path-to-rhino>\js.jar

and put the rhino folder in your system's PATH variable. Now you can
always type simply "js" in any command prompt to get your JS command
line.

Building SpiderMonkey under Cygwin is kind of a pain; I'll have to
investigate it and get back to you. (It's really obnoxious that the
Mozilla team built the Windows install assuming a Visual Studio
machine. I'm a web developer. I have to run Windows. That doesn't
mean I want to run MS development software.)

Hi All,

I noticed the comment about Aptana being a bit too bulky for the
task...we're definitely bigger than the standard text editor, but we
do give some nice benefits, such as outlining of the JS source code,
formatting (in the latest nightly builds) and Firebug integration so
you can debug inside the IDE or inside Firebug. Perhaps more than you
need right now, but please check us out again if your needs change.

Thanks!
Ingo
