--------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as HTML/Java goes, then I think my answer to these ideas has already been given: In January 2014 I wrote http://wiki.apidesign.org/wiki/MigrateFromGWT. The primary difference is that the `@JavaScriptBody` annotation has to be inserted into bytecode - e.g. it cannot be just a comment like JSNI. Yes, there there can be a syntax support, hint/conversion tool in the IDE and [~jlahoda] and [~tzezula] wrote one - I am just not able to find the module right now.

> I figured out that you will add support for Mixed development support between C/C++ and Java in netbeans 8.1: http://wiki.netbeans.org/NewAndNoteworthyNB81. I really like that for JNI and JNA but what about mixed development support for Java and Javascript like GWT and the JSNI functions? I have to use GWT in our company and it is really hard to find out errors when you only see commented methods like:
> {code}
> public static native void alert(String msg) /*-{
>   $wnd.alert(msg);
> }-*/;
> {code}
> I know there is a plugin called GWT4NB but for now, I don't see any benefits to use this. Here is a description for JSNI: http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsJSNI.html
> This would be a big enhancement to have syntax highlighting, navigation to JS files like with C/C++ and Java, have code completion, and so on.
