WSO2 Developer Studio - Eclipse Support - wso2

I can't locate a roadmap that depicts when the Developer Studio will support the later version of Eclipse than Luna. I have a need to use Mars (4.5.1) but according to this post, 4.5.1 is not supported by DS 3.8.0.
Can someone point me in the right direction for information about when this will be supported? Is there a workaround?
Also, there appears to be a issue on the eclipse marketplace documentation that states that Mars is a supported platform for the plugin.

WSO2 Developer Studio Kernel 4.1.0 is on Eclipse Mars (4.5)

How to enable intellisense in package.json

In this video is shown how WebStorm provides intellisense support in package.json. I tried the same but it doesn't work for my version. How do I enable it?
My version is:
WebStorm 2016.3.3
Build #WS-163.12024.17, built on January 31, 2017
Licensed to Maximus Koretskyi
You have a perpetual fallback license for this version
Subscription is active until October 16, 2018
JRE: 1.8.0_73-b02 amd64
JVM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM by Oracle Corporation
For that you need to use WebStorm 2017.1 (build 171.2272 or newer) which is currently in EAP stage (the video shows IDE version that was used).

developer studio 3.8.0 not working on eclipse 4.5.1

I am having problems using developer studio 3.8.0 on the eclipse 4.5.1 (mars)
the installation of the developer studio on eclipses 4.5.1. went well(see the attached screenshot install history ;
yet after the installation, the "developer studio" tool button disappeared from the top tool bar of the eclipse; (see the attached screenshot);
also the "wso2" selection disappeared from the selection items under the "new" button (see attached screenshot)
does anyone have idea?
thanks
WSO2 Developer Studio 3.8.0 is recommended to install on "Eclipse Luna SR2". Use Eclipse for Java EE Developers. Installing Developer Studio 3.8.0 on Eclipse Mars is not supported.
You can also download Eclipse Java EE Luna SR2 with Developer Studio 3.8.0.
Install Enterprise Integration Tooling. It is newest version included eclipse 4.5.2 (Mars.2)

WSO2: Where to get a working Eclipse plugin from to start WSO2 from within Eclipse?

I have an Eclipse Luna installation and want to start the already installed WSO2 5.2.1 from within Eclipse. How can I do this and where can I get a plugin which is able to be installed successfully? I tried to install it via Eclipse Marketplace but always get an error
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session
context was:(profile=epp.package.jee,
phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=,
action=). Unable to read repository at
http://dist.wso2.org/p2/developer-studio/releases/3.6.0/plugins/org.wso2.developerstudio.eclipse.libraries-3.6.0.jar.
Connection reset
I also tried to download the WSO2 Developer Studio 3.7.0 (wso2-developer-studio_3.7.0.zip) but it also doesn't work.
In the end I want to start the WSO2 Application Server from within Eclipse and to debug the implemented web service.
Well, first I ran Eclipse under jdk 1.6.30. Now with jdk 1.7.45 I see a lot of WSO2 features...
Correction:
I had to install WSO2 Developer Studio 3.6.0 via Eclipse Marketplace first and have to update to version 3.7.0 afterwards because http://dist.wso2.org/p2/developer-studio/releases/3.7.0/plugins/org.wso2.developerstudio.eclipse.libraries-3.7.0.jar is not readable.

AWS Explorer not present in VS 2012 after installing AWS Toolkit

My set up is VS 2012 Web Developer Express on Win 7.
After installing AWS Toolkit for .Net 1.5, I cant find AWS Explorer in VIEW menu of VS 2012, but I can in VS 2010 Shell(which got installed with VS 2012).
Other points:
I installed the Toolkit while VS 2012 was still running. So I thought that could be a problem and I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but with no luck.
Looked at answers/suggestions to this question but that doesnt solve my problem.
How should I get about it? Does AWS Toolkit install on Web Developer Express at all?
The licensing on the Express editions of Visual Studio unfortunately does not permit installation of 3rd party plugins. The toolkit needs an edition of 'standard' or higher.
Regards.

Developer Studio 2.1.0 and jdk 1.7

I am using the WSO2 Developer Studio version 2.1.0 which I downloaded in November. I want to use the jdk 1.7 to compile my projects.
I added this to the eclipse.ini file:
-vm C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_11/bin
When i attempt to set the Java Compiler preferences, the highest Compiler Compliance level is 1.6 - any idea how I can get eclipse to allow me to compile for 1.7?
Assuming you are using the Developer Studio 2.1.0 preinstalled Eclipse distribution I will answer your question.
I do not believe Eclipse Helios support Java 1.7 by default. Hence you need to add the JDK 1.7 to your JDK list as explained in here.
After that you should be able to use your Developer Studio with JDK 1.7.
However we have seen some issues running Eclipse Helios, Indigo and Juno with JDK 1.7 since Eclipse instances experienced some issues while installing new plugins with Eclipse P2 Updater due to some changes in JDK 1.7 implementations. Therefore I strongly recommend you to use JDK 1.6 instead of JDK 1.7 unless you are using Juno SR2.
