How do I get code completion for Node.js in Eclipse?

Solution
@Jey Keu: this question has some suggestions towards our mutual dream of code completion, namely:
- Amateras plugin
- JSDT editor
- Aptana Plugin
- SPKET plugin
- VJET plugin
But it was closed by a bunch of people who know nothing about Eclipse. Profiling is the basis of code completion. But they think profiling is unicorns and rainbows and therefore not constructive.
I think, depending on your specific development needs, that `VJET` is your best bet. If you can get it to work without destroying every other function within Eclipse, please share your wizardry in this question.

Problem
When developing a `Node.js` application in Eclipse, you usually import your own modules with functionality tied to `exports` (append functions) or `module.exports` (allows popular `object literal` notation). But how do you set this up for code completion in files where you import your module? Module As you can see in the `outliner`, Eclipse is "aware" of the function: Yet importing the module as `tools` doesn't make it's functions available: I also tried the oldskool `//@import tools.js` but it doesn't seem to work like this. How do I get code completion for my own functions in my project?
