We started reviewing all the patches contributed to JSDT last week and plan
to begin delivering them to the 3.5.1 maintenance shortly.

Thanks,
Chris

Subject:        [wtp-dev] Getting JSDT issues fixed ?
Sent by:        [email protected]



Hey,

I tried sending this earlier but had issues with my mail adress setup for
eclipse.org mailing lists.

Over the last two release trains, and especially the last one my team from
Red Hat/JBoss have opened, commented and attached patches
to bugs to get fixed in JSDT (java script) - at least enough to make it
tolerable to use with todays javascript libraries.

A lot these are not fixed yet, even though there were many promises on
getting them integrated over the last many quarters.

A few of these are mainly just about getting JSDT to not report false
positivs
in its error reports and not fail on common available javascript libraries
(jquery, jquery mobile minified is especially hurt - and those are probably
some of the most used libaries).

Is there any chance of getting at least some of these issues fixed so JSDT
not for the third year will scare away
mobile/javascript developers ?

Here are the current list of issues we got collected:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=366247 - NPE in
CompilationUnitBinding#sourceMethod() (triggered by birt and other js
libraries)
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=356446 - [exceptions] Errors
running builder 'JavaScript Validator' on project with
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException (Also fixes #344745)
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=344745 - [search]
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in DiskIndex during problem detection
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=350693 - [exceptions][parser]
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in Parser#consumeEmptyStatement on a
javascript file when building project
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=357353 -
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in
UnconditionalFlowInfo#markAsDefinitelyNonNull() with FieldReference
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=349020 - [validation] Eclipse

release trains:

ping

lead stating he would look at _ALL_ of these bugs to be included in M6 or
sooner

improvements to JSDT via NJSDoc
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06034.html - thread
about patches to JSDT is accepted but have to fit within project scope

What can we do to get these fixed ? note, these are not API changes afaics
- just pure bugfixes and stop-gap fixes to make JSDT feasible to use and
not
get in the way of majority of javascript users.

Thank you,
/max
