Hi Tony, I give you just some quick idea, but never tested it:
* generate a Tern JSON Type Definition which could be generated from your Java classes and use tern.java to consume your Tern JSON Type Definition. * generate a TypeScript Definition from your Java classes with tools like https://github.com/vojtechhabarta/typescript-generator and consume your generated TypeScritp definition with TypeScript plugins like https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java which extends JSDT Editor (like tern.java) to provide advanced completion, etc like tern but with TypeScript tsserver (since TypeScript is able to support JavaScript only now (Salsa)) Good luck!
