Debugging

I did not find a good solution for debugging using eclipse. At the moment, it is easier to debug in browsers:

• Chrome includes a debugger by default under {wrench} > Tools > Javascript Console. Allows to view created html, put breakpoints...
• Firebug for Firefox. Similar to the chrome javascript console.
