JSDT/Confcalls/Minutes 20160719
Status
- Patrik Completed simple Oomph project setup file: JSDT.setup. he will push the change, blog about using it for JSDT, and make a video.
- Ilya Worked on Hotswap, Gerrit Change is ready
- He also documented all things related to frontend debugger, see repo https://github.com/ibuziuk/docs/blob/master/wip_debugger.adoc
- There are now several JSDT questions on the mailing lists, and someone started "believing" in JSDT, after a long period of low maintenance.
- The below two bugs, are still there since year (despite one of the two has a change)
- Bug 356606 - [formatter] Unwanted alignment on Enter when inside array literal (since 2011), people are really pissed off.
- Bug 419931 - Array initializer auto-formatting is a hideous, broken nightmare
- There is also a question that we should answer:
- StackOverflow question: debugging both Java and JavaScript from Eclipse
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38386091/how-to-debug-javascript-with-eclipse-running-local-tomcat-server
- Angel is Working on a prototype for getting rid of the old Compiler, in favor of the new parser. The aim is to have better code completion improving the indexing, and this will boost performances dramatically.
- Note: After we fixed the indexing, we should consider using a CDT-style indexing, that is said to have great performances.
- Gorkem Made a release for the Java lang services
- He started looking into the Closure Compiler (CC). When that will be ready we'll switch the JSDT parser from Esprima to to CC. Then we'll figure out which level of linting and error tolerance we should use.
- The CC in JSDT, can quickly generate an AST, (without generror) that we can pass to reconcilier and error reporter.
