The latest VJet version (master, that contains a few changes over v.0.9.1 (Released 2/8/2013)) is able to be run with JBT 4.1.x and Kepler without a change of VJet plug-ins. 
The only change required is the adding of VJet Orbit dependencies to JBT Target Platform (see [^jbosstools-add-vjet-dependencies-patch.patch] patch attached). Similar minimalistic changes are to be done due to run VJet plug-ins along with JBDS 7.0-based builds.

VJet project was cloned from [git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/vjet/org.eclipse.vjet.all.git] as is and imported by maven along with JBT plug-ins.

The VJet CA works in many cases for JS/HTML Files. JS dependencies are supported in many cases. I didn't see any latencies in the calculation of proposals. The only sad thing is that VJet uses a built model, so it require to save and build a JS file (it's done automatically after save if autobuild is on) due to make a new or changed variables/methods/objects to be shown in Content Assistant. It doesn't works on-the-fly.

> 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.
