The jsdtscope file extension is associated with Eclipse, an integrated development environment maintained by the Eclipse Foundation. Eclipse supports Java, JavaScript and other programming languages on Microsoft Windows, Linux/Unix and Apple macOS.
The jsdtscope file contains project-specific information used by Eclipse JavaScript Development Tools to identify JavaScript resources and the libraries or other files that belong to the project's development scope. It is project metadata rather than JavaScript source code.
Eclipse normally creates and manages this file as part of the project's configuration. It is intended for use within the Eclipse project and is not a general-purpose interchange format.
Open or import the Eclipse project that contains the jsdtscope file in Eclipse. Eclipse for Microsoft Windows, Eclipse for Linux and Eclipse for Mac can use the file as project metadata.
The file is not normally opened as a standalone document. If the project is unavailable, opening the file directly may only display its metadata and will not provide a useful JavaScript development environment.
Conversion of this file format is not possible.
A jsdtscope file is project metadata rather than JavaScript source code. To reproduce its settings in another Eclipse project, import or configure the project in Eclipse and allow Eclipse to create its project metadata.
