Ah, you want to have a look at Firebug's code.
I'm also using Eclipse when working on Firebug, though I don't give much
attention to the errors reported by JSDT. Most of the reports are just
wrong. E.g. it says there are three errors at line 399 of
/Firebug/extension/content/firebug/lib/url.js<https://github.com/firebug/firebug/blob/5fc314916ada97112911790e56bfffe0cd09051f/extension/content/firebug/lib/url.js#L399>
:
- Syntax error on token "Invalid Character", delete this token
- Syntax error on token "(", ArrayLiteralHeader expected
- Syntax error on token "]", delete this token
while the line is totally correct.
Also the third supposed syntax error is even not listed inside the *Problems
* view.
Regarding your example with "define([...], function(...) {...});" (for
which you didn't upload the screenshots btw.) it says "The left-hand side
of an assignment must be a variable", which is also wrong because it's not
an assignment but a function call.
So that feature of JSDT is obviously totally buggy.
Anyway, if you want to work on Firebug and provide patches or write an
extension for it, you're very welcome.
Happy New Year!
Sebastian
