Compared with Neon’s JSDT it felt like a big step forward. Instead of going back to Eclipse Mars …Īt first I was very happy to get more information in the Outline view than with JSDT when coding Javascript objects and methods. So, I found it interesting to try using JSjet within Eclipse Neon 2 in a real project I am presently working on. The Eclipse plugin Webclipse JSjet offered by the US company Genuitec (in combination with Tern) helps to overcome some of these deficits. Anyone who recently used Eclipse Neon for Javascript development knows what I am talking about. I shall describe some of these deficits only briefly below. In particular, I did and do not like the present limitations of the JSDT Outline View. However, this kind of awareness won’t help me much as a web developer who needs or at least wants to use Eclipse Neon 2 or 3 for Javascript projects or PHP projects with Ajax/Ajaj clients. In addition there may be general limitations imposed by the Eclipse Neon platform itself. I can very well imagine how difficult it must be to create a new and better basis for JSDT. See:Įclipse Neon 1 – Standard-JSDT mit Schwächen – zusätzliche Plugins Some time ago I wrote a blog post about the still unsatisfactory Javascript support by the JSDT plugin for Eclipse – at that time for “Eclipse Neon R”.
