[wtp-dev] Status and future outlook of the JSDT debugger

[Ivan Markov <ivan.markov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

Being the maintainer of sdbg.github.io, the recent (2015-2016) rebirth of the JSDT tooling is of course something I'm interested it.

(... and unfortunately something I've slept through).

Regarding the JSDT debugging story, as far as I understand there are two codebases in use:

1) The original JSDT Debug plugins, which support only Rhino

2) A fork of the old Chromedevtools-Java tooling from Google (last when I looked at it - still in the Google Code times, it was a completely independent set of Eclipse plugins, is this still the case?)

The following question to follow (obviously):

Have you considered using the SDBG codebase, and if not, why not? Technical or legal issues?

Cheers,

Ivan
