[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ERT-76) Sync of IJSONModel with editor should be improved/fixed [EBZ#486860]

Sync of IJSONModel with editor should be improved/fixed [EBZ#486860] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ERT-76 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ERT-76 Project: Eclipse Release Train Issue Type: Task Components: WTP Source Editing Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Victor Rubezhny Labels: bzira, wst.json Fix For: Neon (4.6) M6 IMHO the sync of IJSONModel with editor is the most important and should be done/fixed before fixing, improving other features. But it is the most hard too. At first, we should validate the IJSONModel API The big problem with JSON Editor is that the IJSONModel, IJSONPair, IJSONDocument, etc. There are a lot of copy/paste from XML/CSS plugins so this model and the implementation should be really fixed/improved. For instance completion works when editor is opened, but it is broken after some changes of the text editor. It is because IJSONModel is not very well sync. The most bugs that I see like: * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=486606 * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=485694 * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=486849 * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=486524 are linked to this sync problem. So tests https://github.com/angelozerr/eclipse-wtp-json/blob/master/core/org.eclip... must be completed when sync of model is improved. I will try to create a patch for adding tests https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=486238 It's a very hard task, so good luck to do that.
