| [wtp-dev] The Bower IDE contribution |
Hi All,As you might know, we (JSDT) are trying to contribute the Bower IDE into JSDT.
The initial code contribution has passed the IP Check (https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9173) and proposed by Gerrit (https://git.eclipse.org/r/41693).
As we have some issues that prevent us from merging the contribution into the JSDT, I've created a separate branch named 'bower' in JSDT repository due to provide fixes in more clearer any easier way: http://git.eclipse.org/c/jsdt/webtools.jsdt.git/log/?h=bower
The main issue for the Bower IDE contribution: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=459732- Bower IDE contribution
The list issues found at the moment is the following:- https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=461312 - [bower] Installing the dependencies takes too long - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=462108 - [bower] Install/Update command block the UI, no way to cancel the operation - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=462109 - [bower] Update command doesn't follow the real bower's one - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=462110 - [bower] Install/Update commands don't follow the NPM Node SemVer rules - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=462112 - [bower] The Bower Preference page is to be replaced by the support of .bowerrc file - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=462114 - [bower] Need to add an editor for bower.json file - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=462115 - [bower] Do we need to exclude dependencies installed by bower from the JSDT Include Path? - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=462117 - [bower] JsonSyntaxException exception occurs in Bower IDE while installing angular dependency
The full list of Bower IDE issues can be seen at: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?classification=WebTools&list_id=11303262&product=JSDT&query_format=advanced&short_desc=bower&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr
The issues that prevents us from merging the contribution into JSDT at the moment are marked as blocking for Bug 459732 (Bower IDE contribution).
