Ilya Buziuk commented on JBIDE-21005:
-------------------------------------

Yeah, this is a good idea indeed. Actually I was also thinking about this enhancement. Basically, my plan in firstly make initial npm contribution to jst and after that fix this and other (if any) usability issues in one go for node / npm / bower

> 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?
