Node / Bower / npm location should point to the node executable file
instead of the parent folder of it

Key: JBIDE-21005
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21005
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: javascript, nodejs
Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Final
Reporter: Alexey Kazakov
Assignee: Ilya Buziuk
Fix For: 4.4.0.Alpha1
Window->Preferences->Java Script tools->Node
It's confusing that "Node Location" in that preference page is actually
references to the parent folder of the executable node file. I would expect
"/usr/bin/nodejs" or "C:/.../node.exe" in that field.
IMO it's confusing and actually not very flexible. Why wouldn't let users to
select the executable file itself?
WDYT?
