Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure I do that, it's not that complicated after all. I thought the file extensions and extra scripts will give me headaches but so far that's not a problem neither.
Hi sara,
Can you pick up one stable eclipse version as on date. It could be eclipse javascript IDE. The version is something that you could decide based on the plugin offering that you have. I wish you to provide a step by step instructions starting from downloading eclipse javascript ide.
1.download eclipse javascript ide(mention version number)
2. download tomcat (latest version which is stable with presto 3.1 and 3.2)
3. steps of using presto eclipse plugin.
4. The most important aspect is linking presto tomcat server with eclipse. Such that the changes that I do at mashlet should work on the browser.
The eclipse with presto plugin hangs once i start..:-(
Its nice to see that there is one url exists.

I'm somewhat confused and maybe have a few clarifications.
1. The Mashup Studio plug-in from Presto for Eclipse is meant to help you develop mashups using EMML.
2. It isn't meant to help in development of mashlets (with Presto 2.7 or earlier) or Apps (with Presto 3.X).
3. It needs to be deployed in an Eclipse build for Java development, not JavaScript. The specific builds it supports are in documentation. Typically, we test against the yearly named build (such as Galileo) which is tested by the Eclipse organization.
4. If you have an Eclipse build for Java (SE is generally okay, but EE should also work), integration in Mashup Studio with the Tomcat server that hosts Presto is as simple as adding configuration to connect to the Mashup Server. No additional work is needed. This configuration is covered in Help in Eclipse for Mashup Studio. But it is also available in Presto documentation online. I'm not sure what version of Presto you are working with, so I won't post a URL. To see the latest online docs (for 3.2.1), go to http://www.jackbe.com/prestodocs. Use search for Mashup Studio or go through the table of contents.
You can, of course, add other plug-ins to Eclipse that support Javascript development. But the Mashup Studio plug-in will not help you develop mashlets or Apps. The mashup scripts you write in Mashup Studio can be registered as mashups in Presto and you can create mashlets or Apps based on those mashups using Presto Hub UIs or by writing custom code. But none of that occurs in Mashup Studio.

Hi Naveen,
As Sara has eluded to, Mashup Studio is best suited for coding EMML for building custom mashups or macros. You can of course use Eclipse for building anything else that is supported by a plugin. In my early use of Presto, I did build some of the mashlets this way, but have not done so in the current versions.
I plan to test the Presto plugin with Aptana Studio 3 to see if they are compatible as this would include Javascript and other web project support. That's a project to be done :)
I am currently running Eclipse 3.5.2 with the Presto Mashup Studio Developer Edition Build 3.0.0.201110281610 for my EMML development without any issues.
Cheers,
Innes
Hi Mashers,
I'm just installing the new Presto Studio 3 Eclipse plugin. I'm following the instructions as given on the MDC, but here's a tip that anyone new to Studio/Eclipse might find helpful.
When you have added the local directory where you unpacked the Presto 3 Studio plugin, make sure you uncheck the "Group items by category" checkbox (lower section of the dialog window), otherwise you'll see an info message "There are no categorized items" in the Available Software window.
Had me scratching my head for a minute or two as it looks like there is no plugin to install. Uncheck the box and you'll see the Mashup Studio Developer Edition listed. :)
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Innes (NZ)
