Lots of improvements inappropriately lumped together.
Added a section for JavaScript. Reworked the formatting for the PHP and
Modeling sections. Added some images that had been missing. Other minor
tweaks.

+== JavaScript and JSON
+
+=== JavaScript Development
+
+==== New EcmaScript 2015 Parser
+
+Significant new work has been invested in the JavaScript development tools,
+starting with a new parser with EcmaScript 2015 (ES6) support. With this,
+the Eclipse IDE recognizes and support ES6 language constructs and provides
+better validation accuracy compared to the earlier parser.
+
+==== Libraries and Tools
+
+Both Bower and npm are supported with creation wizards and launch shortcuts
+for executing update and install commands. Grunt and gulp build systems are
+accessible from within the _Project Explorer_ view and can be executed via
+launch shortcuts.
+
+`Node.js` runtimes are now directly supported (`Eclipse Preferences > JavaScript > Runtimes`)
+including a new launch configuration type can be used to run and debug
+`Node.js` applications. `Node.js` applications can be debugged directly
+from the editor via the Chromium V8 debugger, with full support for breakpoints
+and inspecting JavaScript variable values in the _Variables_ view (and when
+you hover over an in-scope variable).
+
+image::images/v8_debugger.png[]
+
+=== JSON Development
+
+==== JSON Editor
+
+The new `JSON` editor provides support to edit some well-known `JSON` file
+types including package.json, bower.json, .bowerrc, and .jshintrc. This support
+includes the following features:
+
+* Syntax Coloring which can be customized with preferences;
+* An Outline Tree view;
+* Text hover on JSON Objects/Array keys and values;
+* Text folding on JSON Objects and Arrays; and
+* Editor extensions for custom hyperlinks, json schema validation, and hover help
