Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms? All The Fun? No! JavaScript, Ajax and DHTML editor and debugger… by Philippe Ombredanne http://dev.eclipse.org/blogs/wonk/2007/10/02/atf-alcohol-tobacco-and-firearms-all-the-fun-no-javascript-ajax-and-dhtml-editor-and-debugger/#comment-3 Philippe Ombredanne Wed, 03 Oct 2007 15:07:57 +0000 http://dev.eclipse.org/blogs/wonk/2007/10/02/atf-alcohol-tobacco-and-firearms-all-the-fun-no-javascript-ajax-and-dhtml-editor-and-debugger/#comment-3 I think this is historic. At start there were no editors. So JavaScript, CSS and HTML were provided by WTP. The new JavaScript editor is based on a JDT fork. But still no CSS or HTML. It relies on WTP base editors. I think that there absolutely no reason to build it on top of WTP code, and have tight coupling. The fact that the project is part of WTP, and the fact that WTP components are tightly coupled or not should not be linked. I sometimes feel that WTP is way too monolithic. :-) Note that for now, ATF depends only on a very small subset of the WST (non J2EE part of WTP). I think this is historic.
