[jbosstools-dev] Updating Tern.java & AngularJS Eclipse IDE?

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hey Angelo,

Thanks for the info and yes it does look like great changes, but 
we are trying to avoid last minute breakages in our 4.2.1 update
and last time we updated Tern it broke more than fixed for us
thus we are being a bit conservative here.

I hope we can get this into our upcoming update of 4.2.2 in the new year.
