Ok, this is some question...well, I haven't seeing in any other place a question like this one...
I need to debug a javascript file through Eclipse (Helios)...but, that is not all, the javascript file is called by a third party application (C/C++) that runs (Mozilla) SpiderMonkey to execute the js file.
I need, someway to conect Eclipse to this application and get the debug symbols. Or, something like that...
Anyone see something like this before? Have an advice?
[EDITED]
Scenario:
The application (consoleApp.exe) runs the javascript engine SpiderMonkey embedded. I need to, from Eclipse IDE, attach the application process and debug the current javascript source that SM is running.
Tks!
[THANKS!!!]
For anyone who gives a thought/ment/idea to answer this question. I figured out what i have to do, but, it will be difficult. I need to ask to modify the application core to expose the debug information ing from SpiderMonkey and JSD. And write an Eclipse plugin (or modify Pistol, maybe) to
ply with i want to do. Again, thanks to everyone.

- Well using webstorm (intellij/idea based) I can debug node.js. So it should be possible. You need some debug version of spider monkey i think. Then you need to set up your debug run configuration in eclipse. Basically you call spidermonkey's debug version, then your js file. – Parris Commented Feb 3, 2013 at 1:56

Reset to default 4You can try Firbug or Firefox web developer tools under Tools option.
In Eclipse:
JavaScript Development Tools (JSDT) - Eclipse
www.eclipse/webtools/jsdt/
I am not very sure about this but you can have a look into this OR The Google Chrome Developer Tools for Java allow debugging using Chrome.
It looks like Piston does exactly what you are asking for in your original question, although you cannot use it to debug your executable directly as in your clarification. Unfortunately, it also looks like it is hard to set up.
Doesnt Eclipse have something similar to .Net's 'Attach to process' under debug options? That way, you can easily debug your client side using your firebug, and whenever a server script is executed, your eclipse will debug it as if it were executed from there.
