[e4-dev] Re: Some comments on XWT

Hi Angelo,

I don't know what you mean "Declarative Business Object" exactly, and the
relationship between "Declarative Business Object" and scripting
languages. But for the JavaScript support, for sure XWT should support it.
Here is a bug I created to keep it on track:
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=266772

We appreciate If someone can contribute on this task.
