Sorry I was not clear enough.
I've mixed JavaScript/Eclipse issue with the syntax one.
Let me rephrase it:
why
function test( a ) ; outstd( "Hello World" ) ; return nil
is valid and
function test( a ) ; <newline>
outstd( "Hello World" ) ; <newline>
return nil
is not?
If in Harbour <newline> is the statement separator why couldn't it be
";<newline>" also?
In this way I could add or not add a semicolon at the end of the
statement but it'll be clear that semicolon is the statement separator
that can be omitted if is followed by a <newline>.
And if this will be implemented we need to change the
HB_PP_MULTILINE_STRING separator which is now semicolon to a more
common "\" backslash + <newline>.

What I meant is that today the are places where I HAVE to use ":="
instead of "=".
This confuses newbies developers that come from other languages since
they don't understand where ":=" is required.
IMHO it would be simpler to say that ":=" is the same as "=" and if
you want to avoid ambiguities you have to use "==" for equal.

Thanks with these 3 lines:
#xcommand { =>
#xcommand } =>
#xcommand VAR <vars,...> [ AS <type> ] => LOCAL <vars> [ AS <type> ]
I've made happy my developers.
BTW can I use #xcommand VAR also when hbclass.ch is used?
best regards,
Lorenzo
