Description _ krystyna 2008-06-11 19:19:17 UTC 
Adding the debugger keyword into a javascript file, causes the editor to display a warning icon.
Tooltip says "Illegal usage of future keyword debugger; interpreting it as ordinary identifier.
Code has no side effects".

Please remove the warning from appearing. The debugger keyword does work in debugging as 
expected so the warning is incorrect and distracting. Thanks.

"debugger" is listed in the JavaScript spec (Ecmascript 262) as a future reserved keyword. 

Do you know which version of JavaScript it was promoted from a reserved word to a keyword? Then I can enable this hint
conditionally based on which version of the JavaScript language you've chosen in the options dialog.

I went ahead and fixed this. The IDE will no longer warn about the debugger keyword. Hopefully nobody is trying to use
it like an identifier/variable.

Verified fixed in NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20080619170241)
Java: 1.6.0_10-beta; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b11
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86

We'll make a note about "debugger" usage in our guide.

Thanks!!
