[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ERT-387) JSON editor "supports" comments, not supported by JSON [EBZ#499705]

[Friendly Jira Robot (JIRA)]

Friendly Jira Robot created ERT-387:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: JSON editor "supports" comments, not supported by JSON [EBZ#499705]
                 Key: ERT-387
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ERT-387
             Project: Eclipse Release Train
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: WTP Source Editing
            Reporter: Friendly Jira Robot
            Priority: Trivial


I tried commenting a line in a JSON file using the common syntax "/* comment */":
/*"jquery/jquery-min": "1.12",*/

This caused the line to become blue, so I figured JSON must support comments. But as mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JSON&oldid=734431215 this is not the case.

Ticket #495578 explains that Angelo ZERR decided to support "JSON comments" since .jshintrc (no idea what that is) uses it. In my opinion, this should be disabled by default, but for sure, it should be possible to disable. Currently, all JSON highlights are mandatory (the checkboxes are disabled).
