the challenge with Tern vs Esprima is that one is now EPL and used in 
Orion
and thus could be used as extension in/to Eclipse JSDT - the other is 
neither.

Is there anything stopping us from using epsrima as alternative to tern 
as basis
of eclipse javascript tooling ? With that we could to cross development 
on both
the web and desktop based IDE's at eclipse?
