JSDT DOM and bindings
This page explains: the ClosureCompiler AST, the DOM AST and the Bindings to the Eclipse IDE
Other JSDT Architectural information is reported in JSDT/Architecture.
ClosureCompiler AST
CC's only documentation is in code. To understand it, we should look at the CC source and at the work done when moving JSDT to ClosureCompiler.
- closure source clone URL: https://github.com/google/closure-compiler.git
- switch to closure compiler for JSDT parsing: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/92404/
DOM AST
The AST class The package org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.dom contains the class
This is the AST used in JSDT core. It contains all the information needed to create outline, for content assist etc..
Bindings
This part is about the bindings needed to show the model in the outline, to provide content assist, indexing etc.
Other Notes
See commit https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/57504/ (M.Istria) to see the new outline
