Victor Rubezhny commented on JBIDE-11602:
-----------------------------------------

The latest NexJ version obtained from [https://bitbucket.org/nexj/njsdoc-build]: {code}hg clone https://bitbucket.org/nexj/njsdoc-build{code} and imported as is by Maven along with JBT plug-ins.

It's required to disable the original (org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.javascriptValidator) Validator and enable NJSDoc builder (org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.njsdocBuilder) on a project's .project file due to make the NJSDoc comments to work.
This could be easily added to some existing or new project configuration task if needed, but I did this manually (however, I didn't tested NJSDoc functionality).
  
The NexJ CA works similar to VJet's one, however the resulting proposals list a bit different (NexJ shown me a little bit more proposals that VJet did). I didn't see any latencies in the calculation of proposals, but in theory NexJ should work a bit slower than VJet because of its on-the-fly code execution. The benefit here is that you don't have to save your file to see just typed variables/functions in the Content Assistant. It does work on-the-fly.

JBIDE-9012 (Eclipse complains about jquery minified JS files) isn't solved (regardless of disabling the original (org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.javascriptValidator) Validator.

> 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.
