Thanks for researching. So, yes, please start a CQ ASAP with the current code. And continue to improve node/npm/bower detection in a new fork which we will merge later.

>          Issue Type: Enhancement
>          Components: javascript, nodejs
>    Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Final
>            Reporter: Alexey Kazakov

>             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?
