Building NodeJs applications in Eclipse

Question

Is there a way to build a NodeJs application using Nodeclipse on Eclipse IDE?

I´m trying to find an option in the plugin, but nothing about it is shown. Can you help me?

Thanks.

It is not quite clear question. So I am giving possible answer to stay in QA format of this site.

JavaScript does not required building any binaries, so there is no build step, unless you want to minimize .js

When creating new application, you can use any tool (most of them use CLI). Then run
nodeclipse -p in project folder, and import in Eclipse as existing Eclipse project. See https://npmjs.org/package/nodeclipse . Or you can create empty project, then press Ctrl+Alt+D to open shell for selected project/folder and continue in shell to generate project.

Since 0.10 there is code completion for base Node.js modules.
