[GIS] Recommended Eclipse Plugins for development with OpenLayers and GeoExt

eclipsegeoextopenlayers-2plugins

we plan to create an map oriented online application and muse about the 'best' / helpful plugins for Eclipse.
The used technology is OpenLayers and GeoExt.

For example is the Javascript development tools (JSDT) helpful?
Or – are there any other tools, not necessarily Eclipse plugins, which help during development?

Can you share your experiences?

If you're doing server side code in Java, I'd recommend IntelliJ (also by JetBrains) or Netbeans. They both handle javascript pretty well.

If you're not doing serverside code or serverside with node.js, I think Webstorm is a good option. I'd also consider a simpler tool, like Sublime Text, that has very good plug-ins supporting javascript development.
