   That is quite possible, because when running npm install from within Eclipse, Java runs in process environment, that is different from OS shell. (I know now better after making simple Maven and Gradle plugins for Eclipse)

   What is needed is to know what new process environment lacks, it may be some environment variable

   Please add postinstall script in package.json and compare

       "scripts": {
           "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified! Configure in package.json\" && exit 1",
           "postinstall": "node pev.js"
       },
   

   pev.js

   console.log(process.env);
   

   no more others ideas so far

   to send it to OS shell instead?

   Just try to lunch other process from Node and Java and you will see that it will run in bare environment quite different from OS shell. OS shell is cmd on windows.

   Try check if package.json has e.g. preinstall option.

   The Java code for launching npm is old https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1/blob/master/org.nodeclipse.ui/src/org/nodeclipse/ui/npm/LaunchConfigurationDelegate.java
   and it lacks environment variable handling I added for Node.js

   But before blindly adding more environment variables, it would be nice to have some reference docs... What is minimal and needed for npm to run ?

    @nodeleaf I have added similar handling on envVar to npm launch.
    But I am not testing it against bson module.

    So once 0.18 is released, we can return and check this issue.
