Enide Monst(e)r README
see http://www.nodeclipse.org/enide/monster/README
Enide-Monstr is based on Eclipse DSL, has CoffeeScript Editor & TypeScriptEditor.
(Story: This was to be Enide Studio with Aptana Studio together. (naming: When I [Paul Verest] tried the idea, I thought “What a monster!”. Then just went alone with the name.) However when installing Aptana into Eclipse (as of November 2013) the whole Eclipse was not so stable, quite a lot of tiny bugs. Even after disabling Aptana git GUI implementation, the whole experience was not so good. Aptana though has better highlight in CoffeeScript Editor, and nice built-in Terminal(CLI shell). Apart from that, if you don’t need what they work on (Web IDE with Ruby, PHP, Python), it has little to give. Though some times nice to know & have. Aptana has evolved a bit away from from standard Eclipse, so some Aptana Preferences are not in line with Eclipse. So I just wrapped Enide Studio with Coffee TypeScript Editors, leaving making above idea better for unknown future.)
