I suggest you that you install typescript.java 1.1.0 which provides a JSX support inside Eclipse. It provides a JSX Editor with syntax coloration for JSX (and JavaScript):

Answer 2

It seems like there is not yet eclipse plug-ins to properly handle JSX syntax in eclipse.

There are plenty other IDEs that does support JSX:

• Sublime Text

• Webstorm

• Vim

• Atom

• IntelliJ IDEA
