eclipse javascript syntax error on hashbang line

Question

when I import some existing node.js code into the eclipse workspace, it complains with

Syntax error on token "Invalid Character", delete this token

on the #! /usr/bin/env/node hashbang line.

How can I tell eclipse to ignore this error?

Answer 1

With Nodeclipse 0.7 and JSHint Integraton, it is now general question "How to configure JSHint" for that.

Answer 2

I have an answer to this question! Remove jsdt nature from your Eclipse .project file. Keep node nature.

<natures>
    <nature>org.nodeclipse.ui.NodeNature</nature>
    <nature>org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.jsNature</nature>
</natures>

Also, if you do not have node nature, install the nodeclipse plugin. It's great!
