Eclipse "Syntax error on token "new", ArrayLiteralHeader expected after this token", l. 19 of v1.0.2 of base2.js

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download v1.0.2 of base2.js 
2. Create an Eclipse jsdt Web project which includes this source
3. Try opening the file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect to be able to view the base2.js file in Eclipse without 
validation errors.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

v1.0.2 of base2.js 

Eclipse IDE for JavaScript Web Developers.
Version: Indigo Service Release 2
Build id: 20120208-2150
Version: 1.4.2.20120206-1433

Please provide any additional information below.

Repros on Mac and XP Pc's (as you would expect for an Eclipse Java app).

This is the line Eclipse's knickers get in a twist about:

new function(_no_shrink_) { ///////////////  BEGIN: CLOSURE  ///////////////

Oh, I also get at l. 1675 (last line):

}; ////////////////////  END: CLOSURE  /////////////////////////////////////

the error:

Syntax error, insert "]" to complete  NewExpression

The following patch seems to fix it (and my code which calls into base2.js 
still seems to work).  Is this a case of Eclipse's JavaScript parser not being 
up-to-date to the latest evolution of the spec, or is it being too picky?
