Syntax error on token "get", : expected after this token (JSDT with object getter setter) [message #653198]

when using this syntax to define gettor and setters;
get name() { return this.aName },

the javascript validator doesn't like the syntax with this message;
Syntax error on token "get", : expected after this token

Here is the full file;
http://pastebin.com/axaNZDJC

However this syntax is used for developing XPCOM objects for firefox plugins. any suggestions on how to fix that?

Thanks,
Tom

It looks like the validator does not support this operator;

"get" and a number of operators newer than what's in ECMAScript 3 aren't supported by our current parser. We're working on getting them recognized.

Hi,

I am facing the same problem, and it is really annoying since it totally breaks outline and code completion...

So I'd like to know if there is some workaround in the immediate.

And is there a bug on this (really hard to figure since "get" is a really common and short keyword), and some beta release implementing it?
Maybe can I also ask if there is a planned date for these keywords support?

Thanks,

Mat
