Current Status

JSDT

• Gulp and Grunt quick assist, enhance launch configuration
• Snjezana is continuing her work on JSON editor
• Shane work on outline support is continuing

Closure Compiler (CC)

• Soon we'll replace Esprima with Google Closure Compiler. It should work in the same way as Esprima is working. This step is needed even if in future we switch to Language Server.
• In any case, before doing Language Server, we'd like to host JS-related language server
  • Interested in Typescript servers: Michael Rennie (Orion, used to work on JSDT Debugging)
  • perhaps Orion and JSDT efforts can converge into LS

Language Server

• Interesting idea, with the possible convergence of different teams: Platform, JSDT, Orion
• Not in the immediate future, perhaps after CC
• Syntax highlighting will be done without LServer.
• The work on the JSDT editor is separate from the work on Language Server
• There is a CQ for Typescript language services

Docs and Contributing

• Patrik updated the JSDT official Page https://eclipse.org/webtools/jsdt/
• Document / website pages to fix:
  • link to wiki components -> architecture
  • Official page: remove Kepler link (change http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler/), put Neon
  • Set current version to 3.8 (Neon) [3.7.2 was Mars.2]
  • Update JSDT who we are, perhaps incorporating information from https://eclipse.org/webtools/jsdt/who.php
  • Update the JSDT Wiki page, where some links is wrong. e.g. the top right link to download is wrong (http://build.eclipse.org/webtools/committers) - it should point to eclipse downloads

Other Issues

• Import/export modules - the current import procedure needs to be improved.
