MyEclipse: MyEclipse 9 chokes on E4X syntaxes svella - Jun 29, 2011 - 10:54 PM Post subject: MyEclipse 9 chokes on E4X syntaxes
Earlier versions of MyEclipse supported (or at least gracefully ignored) E4X syntactical constructs such as literal XML and the "for each" statement. MyEclipse 9 completely chokes on these constructs in both the editor and validation. Given the large amount of E4X code used in my project (which runs on the server inside of Rhino) , this make MyEclipse 9 very, very painful to use. Please fix this ASAP, or at least provide pointers to an alternative javascript plugin that can coexist gracefully with other MyEclipse components.

svella,
I could replicate the issue at my end. I have filed a PR for the dev team to work on it.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.support-tony - Jun 30, 2011 - 10:20 AM Post subject: RE: MyEclipse 9 chokes on E4X syntaxes
Shon,
Please refer to these posts for some background on changes to JS validation, between 8.6 and 9.0:
I'm not aware of any free javascript plugins that can be used as alternatives but you can always try any that you find.
There are a couple of possible partial workarounds. You can turn off validation for the files that contain E4X. Also, if your E4X is in a <script> element, changing the type to "text/javascript;e4x=1" seems to remove the errors.svella - Jul 07, 2011 - 08:59 PM Post subject: RE: MyEclipse 9 chokes on E4X syntaxes
Eagerly awaiting the release of an improved editor and validator. In the mean time I've disabled javascript validation and am using the Aptana javascript editor.support-tony - Jul 11, 2011 - 06:07 AM Post subject:
Shon,
I'm glad you've found a way to keep working. Please look for improvements in this area in future releases.
