Hi all,

Earlier this month I made this fork of JSDT available. While working on
this my goal was to have it eventually merged back in. This is the reason
it is currently using the same plugin names. I would be very happy if it
did get merged in. I would like to gauge your interested in merging it.

To summarize the benefits
- Accurate and fast operation content assist with very large code bases
- Accurate and fast operation content assist with indirectly defined class
and object structures
- New outline that shows structure with some lexical scope for context
- No change in functionality when not running with NJSDoc recipe

Current cons:
- To take advantage of the new features one must write a NJSDoc recipe file
which is less automatic than old behaviour and configure a different
builder.
- Adds NJSDoc plugin as a dependency


We'll be working more on this code base - maybe now is a good time to
decide whether to rename the plugins or merge. It seems like there has been
no significant work on JSDT for 6 months and no new features for much
longer. I would be renaming to JSDT2 unless there are objections.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
John
