Hi Max,
Sorry for not responding earlier :) We welcome these contributions, and looking at your plans, adding these optional integration features in an 
incremental way makes sense.
JSDT has worked hard to stay vendor agnostic allowing consumers more
flexibility, but at the cost of useable integration with popular
frameworks.
Thanks for the response. I understand the vendor agnostic angle, but the price for staying there is getting too high. By providing at least basic integration we 
can make the tooling much more useful.
Looks like no objections so far thus I've asked Gorkem/Victor to let move this forward 
and open the CQ's. This should happen early next week.

Thanks,

Hi all,

We (Red Hat) been looking deep and hard at how to improve JavaScript
tools and have come to the conclusion
that to really move things forward JSDT need to stop trying to make
everything on its own. We need to support/integrate
the actual tools JavaScript developers uses.
Example of such tools are npm, bower, grunt, typescript, sass, less and 
over time more will probably show up.
The intent is that we would like in JSDT to start integrating with these 
tools in a similar manner that for example CDT calls out to native
compilers
and how Buildship calls out to Gradle.

Before we go do the official request for each of the tools I was
suggested by Mike to raise it on the relevant PMC first to see
if there were any objections against starting this.
Depending on the feedback we would probably start looking at adding some 
of this very early on into incubation with hope to see
it be used and tested by a few braves on Mars, and try get it into next 
years Eclipse release train (N/Mars+1).

Thank you,
