The resource is not on the build path of a javascript project

Question

I am making a javaEE project. I imported a project from my computer as a maven project (Import->Import as maven project) The project has many javascript files in the source folder. Eclipse is not showing outline of my javascript files. '

However when i imported the project as a javascript project the outline was shown correctly!!

How can i make the outline correct when i import it as a maven project?

What package of Eclipse do you have (eg, Eclipse for Java Developers, Eclipse for Java EE Developers, etc)? Have you installed any other plug-ins or features? — E-Riz, Aug 05 '14 at 13:27

I just answered this for another question, very similar to yours.

You need to add the JavaScript "nature" to the project (basically, tell Eclipse to treat it as a JavaScript project). Right-click on the project and choose Configure > Convert to JavaScript Project....

enter image description here

After doing that you should see a Builder named "JavaScript Validator" and have the JavaScript section in the properties.

Try this: Right-click on the project, choose 'Properties', look for the 'Project Facets' menu on the left. – kaos Aug 05 '14 at 12:34
@shivi I added a screen shot showing it in the Package Explorer. – E-Riz Aug 05 '14 at 13:48
Thanks for the answer...i was actually right clicking on the navigator! eclipse does not have that good javascript support...aptana studio is much better – Shivendra Aug 06 '14 at 08:40

Check that you have .js files associated to Javascript Editor. Go to Window->Preferences-General -> Editors -> File Associations. Find the "*.js" entry, click on it, then click on Javascript Editor and click the Default button.
