I have such code but can not turn on outline of function if it defined in anonymous function - there is not problem with class.

How can I outline something2 - please share some hints?

I can mark all function as constructors but it is invalid approach.

// --- start of track event ---
// required debug.js
(function (window) {

/**
 * @memberof erest.track_event
 */ 
function something2() {
}

/**
 * @memberof erest.track_event
 * @constructor
 */
function something3() {
}
}(window));
//--- end of track event ---

function something1() {
}

I was tested all filtering options, jsdoc and study Eclipse preferences but has no idea what to do to make something2 visible in outline view?

• javascript
• eclipse
• jsdt

• I am running Eclipse Luna (latest available) and am still suffering this puzzle. – Kolban Commented Nov 25, 2014 at 0:13
• Note that only the first level is shown in the outline (by design), so it won't work if you have your JS code wrapped in a self-executing anonymous function. – thdoan Commented Nov 27, 2018 at 22:43

You have a small typo in the @memberOf annotation. Change to a capital O and it should work just fine:

(function(window) {

  /**
   * @memberOf erest.track_event
   */
   function something2() {
   }

  /**
   * @memberOf erest.track_event
   * @constructor
   */
   function something3() {
   }

}(window));

function something1() {
}

Remove the @constructor annotation, if appropriate, to get something3() in the outline and not the constructor function.
