Max Rydahl Andersen resolved JBIDE-11602.
-----------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 4.2.0.Alpha1
                   4.1.1.Final
                       (was: 4.2.x)
       Resolution: Partially Completed


I'm going to resolve this issue as partially resolved since we have done great strides in improving javascript support in JSDT.

for JBT 4.1.x or rather Eclipse Kepler SR2 we've help fix many of the false warnings and in JBT 4.2.x (based on Eclipse Luna) more improvements are coming in but keeping them driven by this openended jira is not useful imo.

Thus resolving this jira, but do know we are working on this but it will be in more specific jiras and if that is too much then follow Eclipse WTP releases and jboss tools releases and watch their New and noteworthy docs which should highlight these.

> 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.
