Hi Victor!

In short answer, I have gaven up development with Rhino because its very slowly and I had problem with OutOfMemory when JS files are too big.

Hi Angelo!

I'm trying to make it possible to use my cordovajs.js plug-in when Rhino is configured as Tern server, but with no luck.
So, I have a couple of questions to you...

Actually I'm even not able to see any proposals from existing plug-ins (like requirejs.js, that is placed in tern.server.rhino.internal.scripts.tern.plugin package of tern.server.rhino plug-in). Are there any special things that I should do in order to make it working? (In my test project's preferences I have enabled requirejs and my cordovajs in <Project>->Properties->Plugins Project Properties Page.)

I don't see/am unable to open Tern Console when Rhino used as a server. There is no possibility to stop/restart server as well.

Tern console works today only with Node.js, but as you have seen, it's possible to implement it.

It looks like there is no ITernConsoleConnector object configured for Rhino server instance. Is this a result of some re-development that was focused in usage of NodeJS in favor of Rhino (I mean your work on "developping a "Tern Builder" which will parse JS files with Tern") or this works as expected?

No it's not the result of the Tern Builder. Before that Rhino doesn't work. My idea about Tern Builder is to parse with incremental builder JS files. I had no time to implement it-(

Is it possible to write such a ITernConsoleConnector for Rhino server? (I didn't dig into that code to much...)

Yes it's possible, but if we wish to support Rhino in Eclipse IDE, there are a lot of work to do, like create a "Runtime Tern" to share tern js files. Today those tern js (defs, plugin, etc) are stored into the tern server node.js project.

We must create a new project "tern runtime" which will hosts thos tern js files.

I think too it should be very cool to implement tern server with Java8 nashor js engine.

I would like to fix some bugs with angular.js tern plugin and works on AlloyUI which is teh JS framework used by Liferay. See https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/wiki/Tern-&-AlloyUI-support to see screenshots and my idea to use it into the Liferay Portal (WebBrowser). I'm working in this issue because Liferay IDE could be interested. More there were people who will be interested, more tern.java can be improved (I hope having some contributions like you do).

So today I have no time to support Rhino, but if you want to support it, I will be very glad to help you. I think you should create several issues to support it. I will help you for that, no problem.

Regards Angelo

Thanks in Advance,
Victor
