Christian Lenz updated NETBEANS-261:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
I read an article about the new Salsa feature in Visual Studio 2016: 
https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Salsa

MS tried to implement a better intellisense support for javascript again. Same 
procedure as every year. But it's not that easy because of the dynamically type 
system of js as we know. The new idea is to use typescript type definitions 
files ALSO you don't want to write in TypeScript. The definitions are only 
helper during the development time in Visual Studio to support the code 
completion/intellisense. It's based on a new language service called "salsa".

Maybe this could be a good enhancement too for supporting a better code 
completion and go to whatever if netbeans could use TS typedefinition files too?

I think VS Code and WebStorm did the same thing and it will make the whole code 
completion of JS much much better.


Cheers

Chris

P.S. the other thing to resolve better and maybe have type checking while 
writing plain js code is to use JsDoc as I wrote it here: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-184
