[eclipse.org-architecture-council] Javascript: a bug that makes me really sad....


Hi,

I am excited about mars being out. But there is a bug,
that makes me really really sad. The most popular eclipse
package is JavaEE and it contains _javascript_. But eclipse
supports only _javascript_ 1998.

  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=223131

The most annoying problem is that modern versions of _javascript_
allow keywords if they are part of a data structure:

   promise.catch(function(){...});
   var foo {
      default: 42
   }




Many libraries use `throw` and `catch` as methods on objects
and this causes a lot of errors and the rest of the file cannot
be parsed.

I know there are a lot of different _javascript_ solutions out
there that work better than this. But, the out of box experience
with eclipse is, well suboptimal.

Is there anything the architecture council can do about this?
