Need to split org.jboss.tools.jst.js to *.node and *.bower ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-20903 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20903 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Task Components: javascript, nodejs Affects Versions: 4.3.0.CR1 Reporter: Ilya Buziuk Assignee: Ilya Buziuk Fix For: 4.4.0.Alpha1 After some npm investigation I can claim that npm support covered in the issue description can be implemented pretty easily. However, in order to make the implementation generic I do believe that *org.jboss.tools.jst.js* plugin must be refactored. My proposal is to split it to: * *org.jboss.tools.jst.js.node* (plugin with generic node tools launch, which will be subclassed for bower, npm etc. Node preferences + some utilities) * *org.jsboss.tools.jst.js.bower* (bower specific stuff, will have org.jboss.tools.jst.js.node as required bundle ) it will simplify the implementation of not only npm but also other node dependent tools (grunt, gulp etc.).
