Developing JSDT
JSDT Source
The source for JSDT is in the Web Tools project (repository path /cvsroot/webtools).
The following plugin projects provide the core JavaScript editing:
- sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core
- sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.manipulation
- sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui
These plugins have no dependencies other than the Eclipse base (they dont depend on any WebTools). Using these plugins, a javascript project can be created.
The feature project for these is:
- sourceediting/features/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.feature
The following plugin projects provide JSDT integration with WebTools, and provide support for javascript within HTML and JSP:
- sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.core
- sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.support.jsp
- sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.ui
The feature project for these is:
- sourceediting/features/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.feature
The following are the junits for JSDT:
- sourceediting/tests/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.tests.compiler - (test suite is org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.tests.compiler.JSDTTestAll)
- sourceediting/tests/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.tests.model - (test suite is org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.tests.model.AllJavaModelTests)

Generating the parser
Follow the instructions at http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/core/howto/generate%20parser/generateParser.html for generating the parser. The parser grammer file is located in cvs at sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core/grammer/js.g
