Hello, Arián Thank you for feedback - this is smth. we are seeking for now.
Basically, JSDT is still in transitional state. A lot of thing were changed due to old parser (EcmaScript 3 support) replacement and some stuff might be broken here and there. What is more, we are going to change parser one more time for Neon.1 and use Closure Compiler (better performance, linting + no need to use Nashorn JS engine). I have created a bug for having new wizard for custom json file [1] (for now one can only use bower init / npm init wizards for creating bower.json & package.json). It would be really great if you could address other issues you had with JSDT in eclipse bugzilla, so that we would try to tackle them for Neon.1 release - September 2016 P.S. Contributions of any kind are most welcome [1] https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=497494 On Thu, Jul 7, 2016 at 2:59 PM, Arián Fornaris Fernández < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I see lot of buzz around a JavaScript update in Eclipse Neon but honestly, > I don't see a real change :( > > - I installed Eclipse for JavaScript and Web Developers via Eclipse > installer (was a nice experience) > > - I created a JavaScript project and the first thing I see is that it keep > using JavaScript libraries that are not updated since 2010 (system.js) and > 2013 (browserWindow.js).
