Hi - This is my first post here.
Thanks to Mickael Istria at RedHat for pointing me to this list.
In short I'd like to know the best/current way to get good Java and _javascript_ code completion (Content Assist) functionality in the same project.
I'm currently running Mars 4.5.2 with _javascript_ Development Tools, JDT v1.6.201.v201512010225
I'm a long-time developer of apps and tools, but still learning the nuances of Eclipse, so please be gentle.
I've loaded an existing FOSS project with Java and _javascript_ (uses
ScriptEngineManager).
JavaDoc/AutoComplete is working in Java but not in
JS files. In short, content assist in Mars just isn't working for me - as with a lot of people.
So I've downloaded Eclipse _javascript_ Neon 1a but I haven't installed yet. I'd like to know if this "should" be any better. As in, I have Eclipse-Java with a JS plugin, I'm wondering if a more recent Eclipse JS package with Java added might work better. Or should I go with Eclipse-Java Neon? Or with some other IDE? (*gasp*)
I'm thinking you folks are aware of the current solution options, and the open issues that no solution seems to have resolved. Can we expect Eclipse _javascript_ Neon to have a decent solution out of the box? Should we load something like Tern or Aptana? Are there guidelines for how to set project properties for optimal functionality? Any current docs describing recommended solutions and caveats?
I'm just trying to avoid going down a common path, ending up with a sub-optimal solution, and not knowing if I've missed something.
Thanks!
