Description Vasili Gulevich CLA 2018-05-26 11:45:10 EDT 
Following code produces an error marker "Semi-colon expected" in JavaScript Editor: 

let tabs = await browser.tabs.query({});

Versions:

Eclipse IDE for JavaScript and Web Developers
Version: Photon Release Candidate 1 (4.8.0RC1)
Build id: 20180524-1423

JavaScript Development Tools	2.1.1.v201804042202 

Code sample is taken from:
https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/blob/master/find-across-tabs/background.js

Await is now widely supported:

It's absurd that we can not use jet async/await.
