--------------------------------------------------------------

After some npm investigation I can claim that npm support covered in the issue description can be implemented pretty easily. However, in order to make the implementation generic I do believe that *org.jboss.tools.jst.js* plugin must be refactored. My proposal is to split it to:
* *org.jboss.tools.jst.js.node* (plugin with generic node tools launch, which will be subclassed for bower, npm etc. Node preferences + some utilities)
* *org.jsboss.tools.jst.js.bower* (bower specific stuff, will have org.jboss.tools.jst.js.node as required bundle )
I think it will simplify the implementation of not only npm but also other node dependent tools (grunt, gulp etc.). It it sounds good I will create another issue for refactoring.

> Initially npm support should include the following commands:
> 1) [init|https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init] - package.json creation
> 2)  [update|https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/update] - updates all the packages listed to the latest version
> 3) [install|https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install] (no arguments) - Installs the dependencies in the local *node_modules* folder
