Please support Hashorn

related to #33

[angelozerr]

@paulvi why creating a new issue although #33 exists?

[paulvi]

This one is about Hashorn syntax and hints tooling support included into ternIDE

I know that Nashorn has globals defined like

"Java", "JavaFX", "$ARG"

https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1/blob/master/org.nodeclipse.ui/templates/common-templates/.jshintrc#L122

I am researching now where to get full definitions...

2 The Nashorn Java API

Of course completion from Java types is out of scope

var MyJavaClass = Java.type('JavaClass');
JavaClass.

.class for variables

var intNum = 10;
print(intNum.class);

var string = "a string";
print(string.class);

Output:

class java.lang.Integer
class java.lang.String

No time to develop it, but if you or other people wants to develop it, I could help you.

Perhaps we could call JDT inside tern nashorm plugin with Flux? Don't know if it's possible, it's just an idea...

No time to develop it,

We have discussed it several month ago, that if you do all plugins yourself you end up unable to support them all.
You should just point to tutorial how to create plugin.

that would be JDT integration. that is project is be Java project.

Flux is cloud service.
