Re: [atf-dev] JavaScript Editor/Development Tool Proposal

Thanks for your answers.

I do think that investigating if parts of their code can be reused
(even if it's a fork) is better than just rewriting everything from
scratch (well, from JDT).

My gut feeling is that their code should be easier to refactor into
what you need than a -Java- editor. Of course I haven't actually
looked into it yet, so I shouldn't talk about it.
