Contributing to JSDT
The JSDT is driven by a very small development group with limited resources. ANY serious developers or contributors will be enthusiastically welcomed. For more information on how to become a Committer, check the standard Eclipse process (see New Committer Election). For more information about contributing to JSDT in general, or for questions about its internals, contact wtp-dev.
JSDT Functional Testing
Reporting Bugs
Report bugs through Eclipse Bugzilla under WebTools catagory, JSDT component.
Here is a list of open JSDT bugs. We're working through them as fast as we can!
You can receive notifications of incoming bugs by monitoring account jsdt.javascript-inbox@eclipse.org in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/userprefs.cgi?tab=email
Pushing Gerrit Reviews
You can use Gerrit (mandatory reading, important to set up hooks, SSH keys, CLA & other) to push Git commits on JSDT repositories. The repo URL for JSDT@Gerrit are:
- ssh://user@git.eclipse.org:29418/jsdt/webtools.jsdt.core
- ssh://user@git.eclipse.org:29418/jsdt/webtools.jsdt.debug
- ssh://user@git.eclipse.org:29418/jsdt/webtools.jsdt.tests
Assuming you named this repo gerrit, you can push a commit to one of this repository with git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/master. This will give you the URL of the Gerrit review where you can interact with project committers to get your commit merged. In case you need to push another version of the patch, don't forget to copy the Change-Id from the Gerrit review if you didn't set up the git hook. Providing another version of the patch doesn't require a new commit, simply amend the one you already pushed, and push it again:
$ git log -1 #Shows the commit. Message should contain Sign-Off-By and Change-Id $ git add file/to/change $ git commit --amend # add --signoff if Sign-Off-By is missing, and copy Change-Id from Gerrit review if missing $ git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/master # will create another version of the patch, on the same review.
You can see the list of open Gerrit reviews at:

Git Repositories:
Detailed repository contents you can find at this page: http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_Git_Migration_Checklist
These plug-ins have no dependencies other than the Eclipse base (nor do they depend on anything else in WTP). Using these plug-ins, a standalone JavaScript Project can be created and used:
- webtools.jsdt.core.git/bundles/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core
- webtools.jsdt.core.git/bundles/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.manipulation
- webtools.jsdt.core.git/bundles/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui
The Feature project for these is:
- webtools.jsdt.core.git/features/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.feature
HTML an JSP editors
JSDT provides JavaScript support for the WTP HTML and JSP editors in the WTP Source Editing project Git repositories. GitHub
The following plug-in projects provide JSDT integration with WTP's HTML and JSP editors:
- webtools.sourceediting.git/bundles/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.core
- webtools.sourceediting.git/bundles/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.ui
- webtools.sourceediting.git/bundles/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.support.jsp - contains JSP-specific functionality
- webtools.sourceediting.git/bundles/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.support.firefox - contains bindings for Mozilla FireFox, current as of FF 2.0.x (deprecated)
- webtools.sourceediting.git/bundles/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.support.ie - contains bindings for Microsoft Internet explorer (deprecated)
JSDT tests
The following are the JUnits test plug-ins for JSDT:
- webtools.jsdt.tests.git/tests/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.tests.compiler - (test suite is org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.tests.compiler.JSDTTestAll)
- webtools.jsdt.tests.git/tests/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.tests.model - (test suite is org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.tests.model.AllJavaModelTests)
These test plug-ins are new to WTP 3.1 and above:
- webtools.sourceediting.tests.git/tests/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.core.tests - (test suite is org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.core.tests.translation.AllWebCoreTests)
- webtools.sourceediting.tests.git/tests/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.ui.tests - (test suite is org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.ui.tests.AllWebUITests)
These test plug-ins are new to WTP 3.2 and above:
- webtools.jsdt.tests.git/tests/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui.tests - (test suite is org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui.tests.JSDTUITests)

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
