[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11602?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Denis Golovin edited comment on JBIDE-11602 at 12/11/12 8:56 AM: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding the VJET... In May of 2012 VJET project was proposed as open source project under the [Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project (WTP)|https://www.ebayopensource.org/index.php/VJET/HomePage]. As the proposal was accepted it moved to http://eclipse.org/vjet/ in late November. Advantages: - It works. It needs just to add its compability to a project to be able to use VJET JavaScript editor, Content Assist and so on. - Provides [Content Assists, Syntax, Semantic Checking for JavaScipts| https://www.ebayopensource.org/wiki/display/VJET/Code+Assistance+Features] and [Code Search|https://www.ebayopensource.org/wiki/display/VJET/Code+Search+Features]. - [Provides Type Declarations|https://www.ebayopensource.org/wiki/display/VJET/Importing+V...] using VJETDoc (form of JavaScript comment syntax used to add type information to JavaScript source code). - Provides Execution/Debugging facilities. - It's integrated into WTP HTML Editor (this means that it's already integrated into JBoss Tools HTML Editor as well) - It's an Open Source Project under the [Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project (WTP)|http://eclipse.org/vjet/] and it's alive (opposite to JSDT) - Since it was introduced it became more reliable and stable. Disadvantages: - Slowness. It makes Eclipse (and JBT/JBDS) to work significantly slower. The reason is VJET has to compile JavaScripts, build Type info and dependency models as well as to perform Syntax and Semantic checking on the fly. - Generates too much debug output (but probably it will gone after some time) - It still requires to add its capabilities to a project (not a big problem) - It doesn't solve the Minified jQuery problems as well as some other validation problems even it tries to replace JSDT validation with the own one (I may be mistaken, but I guess it disabled the JSDT Validation when enabled). But I'm sure VJET validation is significantly better that the JSDT one. - It doesn't solve WTP HTML problems (like that is described in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-3728 Invalid Javascript error - an old Upstream issue (WTP 3.0.3) that still is reproducible today) Related JSDT [issues list|https://issues.jboss.org/issues/?jql=labels%20in%20(jsdt%2C%20vjet)]. Note: It requires a newer Orbit version than we're using in latest JBDS 6.0/JBT 4.0 Target Platforms. was (Author: vrubezhny): Regarding the VJET...
