Palm Pre and Visual Studio. Possible?

The Palm Pre development experience sucks, to say the least. At best, you are working on JavaScript in Eclipse with the Aptana plugin. The resulting intellisense is really, really grim. You should look at the documentation every 5 seconds.

I thought Visual Studio really beats JavaScript and intellisense. Has anyone succeeded in writing Palm Pre code in VS2008 with intellisense that will require a link in the Palm Mojo library?

Is there a known way to connect third party non-sourced libraries to JavaScript in Vs2008?

I've searched for Eclipse alternatives, but it doesn't seem like anyone has done this yet. It was too much for me, so I just switched to working with multiple terminal windows and a browser window in the documentation.

I overshadowed the user for a long time but was frustrated with the eclipse environment for Pre - especially after using the Android SDK which fits perfectly into eclipse (then again the Dev environment is Java).



Have you tried Komodo? I switched to it and the autocomplete is nice and the webos addon does a decent job. I don't have a professional version, so I can't comment on the debugging features that I would really like.

If you can tell VS08 you want to load the Mojo.js stuff, then it should work. I think you should also be able to tweak any custom tools you need to create, etc.

Personally, I would recommend you check out IntelliJ IDEA JetBrains. They have really good JavaScript support and I used it with some preliminary stuff.
