JSON editor "supports" comments, not supported by JSON [EBZ#499705] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ERT-387 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ERT-387 Project: Eclipse Release Train Issue Type: Task Components: WTP Source Editing Reporter: Friendly Jira Robot Assignee: Snjezana Peco Priority: Trivial Labels: bzira, wst.json I tried commenting a line in a JSON file using the common syntax "/* comment */": /*"jquery/jquery-min": "1.12",*/ This caused the line to become blue, so I figured JSON must support comments. But as mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JSON&oldid=734431215 this is not the case. Ticket #495578 explains that Angelo ZERR decided to support "JSON comments" since .jshintrc (no idea what that is) uses it. In my opinion, this should be disabled by default, but for sure, it should be possible to disable. Currently, all JSON highlights are mandatory (the checkboxes are disabled).
