[jbosstools-dev] Integrates typescript.java & Angular2 Eclipse inside JBoss Tools?

[Gorkem Ercan]

Typescript is interesting but we have not done any evaluations on 
typescript.java
so it is too early to say but I have added a task [1] so that we can do 
an evaluation.

Angelo now that you are putting effort into typescript.java how will 
this affect tern.java?
Although we are improving JSDT significantly, we plan to continue using 
tern.java, especially
for inference based scenarios.

In any case thanks for doing this work, I hope we can make JSDT more 
extensible as fast as
you consume them in the future :)

Would this conflict with tern.java and JSDT validations on .js files? 
How is it
managed? Also, on a setup where there is JSDT, tern and typescript we 
will end up
with 3 parsers. Is there a way to share ASTs among them (now that JSDT 
can produce
AST compatible with esprima,acorn).

How does that work together with tern.java? Do they share the embedded 
node.js?
