Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-11602:
---------------------------------------------

I guess "client side development" should be changed to JavaScript development ? I've been using JBDS or eclipse for client side development for years without having to touch javascript ;)

Joking aside then yes JSDT is aging and noone seem to be taking charge at eclipse.org in this area.

Aptena's have some good things but seems to rely on very customized eclipse.org plugin set thus not really compatible with much else - would love to hear if anyone successfully installed JBoss Tools into it and it worked fine ?
 
An alternative component I got a good eye on is EBay's VJET plugin set: http://developer.ebay.com/products/vjet/

Worth checking out.

> Web application development is currently moving in many projects from end to end server side technologies to HTML5 RIA developed with REST Webservices/ Webscoket on serverside + pure client side technologies GUI (Backbone.js for example).
> Eclipse has been always been quite bad in the field of advanced Javascript development. JSDT was a good start, but its development has been stopped for a few years, and in its current status, it is not really a good tool for real HTML5/JS dev. From what I know, there is no roadmap for strong move on this field in the WTP team. The only real Eclipse initiative for client side development is Orion (http://www.eclipse.org/orion/) outside of the IDE.
> The only other alternative is Aptana Studio 3, acquired last year by AppAccelerator.
> My question is : is there any plan to consider client side development as a first class citizen in JBoss Studio, even if this question apply to the whole Eclipse Ecosystem ? Other IDE like Netbeans or IntelliJ Idea have a strong support for these technologies, and my guess is this lack may be a significant blocking point in the following years.
> Thanks in advance for your feedback.
