Sebastien Deleuze created JBIDE-11602: ----------------------------------------- Summary: Provide first class support for client side development Key: JBIDE-11602 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11602 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Sebastien Deleuze Web application development is currently moving in many projects from end to end server side technologies to HTML5 RIA developed with REST Webservices/ Webscoket on serverside + pure client side technologies GUI (Backbone.js for example). Eclipse has been always been quite bad in the field of advanced Javascript development. JSDT was a good start, but its development has been stopped for a few years, and in its current status, it is not really a good tool for real HTML5/JS dev. From what I know, there is no roadmap for strong move on this field in the WTP team. The only real Eclipse initiative for client side development is Orion (http://www.eclipse.org/orion/) outside of the IDE. The only other alternative is Aptana Studio 3, acquired last year by AppAccelerator. My question is : is there any plan to consider client side development as a first class citizen in JBoss Studio, even if this question apply to the whole Eclipse Ecosystem ? Other IDE like Netbeans or IntelliJ Idea have a strong support for these technologies, and my guess is this lack may be a significant blocking point in the following years.
