Eclipse - Which project to choose to create HTML/Javascript project

Question

When I try to create a web page with eclipse, I have two options
-- Javascript project
-- Static web project

If I choose the former, then configuring run to launch a web browser seems to be difficult.
If I choose the later, I lose support for JavaScript.

So, how do I get the best of both?

Use static web project and install your browsers debugging plugin (e.g. firebug for Mozilla firefox) to do the debugging of your js-code — LuigiEdlCarno

But the reason I want javascript support in eclipse, is to take advantage of code-completion and as such — Hashken

There is a plugin for eclipse that provides just that. Wait a moment please ... — LuigiEdlCarno

Ok, I use a jsp editor, which is propably more, than you really need. But there should be an editor with js-code completion in the web tools project (WTP) plugin or its successor. — LuigiEdlCarno

I have been using the 'static web project' option, and I am including HTML, JavaScript and PHP files in the project.

Make sure you include your .js files in your .html document, otherwise check your eclipse software is up to date to ensure you are getting JavaScript support.

sorry would have put this in a comment, but I think I need more reputation.

Hi guys. Sorry, was out the whole weekend. Using a static web project was perfectly fine. I was skeptical whether this will have javascript support, but all javascript files are being open in Javascript editor anyways. so, problem solved.

After creating Static Web Project - what would be the file extension of file I would add. Is it .html or what?
