Build Identifier: WTP 3.2

I should be able to use .js file to define JSON data right?  Basically renaming a .json file to .js, and everything should be exactly the same.  But I get parser errors in .js files.

Reproducible: Always

To reproduce, paste the following to a js file:

/**
 * this is my model object
 */
{
	"property1": {
		"subprop1": "value1"
	}
}

You get a red squiggly in the opening brace saying "Syntax error on token {, ...".

This is not valid JavaScript. The following statement throws an error at runtime.

No plan to support.
