Faq

• Why installing GREclipse plugin ?
• This plugin is based on GREclipse plugin. It is providing extension points for syntax highlighting and code completion. GREclipse builds a tree representation for Jspresso SJS code. Jspresso Develope Studio uses this tree and SJS meta data to be able to achieve code completion.

• Why completion proposals contains Groovy items ?
• Because SJS is a Groovy DSL. SJS file are edited using GREclipse editor.

• Why completion proposals are sometimes empty ?
• Most of time this is due to syntax error while coding your SJS file. Take care of the red cross in the margin of your eclipse editor : the tree representation of your SJS file is corrupted and code completion either corrupted or empty.
