[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-7) Provide basic editor features (syntax highlighting, braces matching, completion, etc) for more file types

Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-7:
---------------------------------------

I found this repo: https://github.com/cgunnels/Netbeans-Cucumber-Feature, I downloaded the nbm file and it works like a charm. It has a nbs file, which has the tokens inside and is registered in the layer.xml file as a reference. NBS could be find here: http://wiki.netbeans.org/SchliemannNBSLanguageDescription.

So it is already implemented, but NBS files I think are not available for a lot of languages?

> We could provide basic editor features (syntax highlighting, braces matching, completion, etc) for more languages based on the existing corpus of definitions from other editors/IDEs. See
> * http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=User_Defined_Language_Files
> * http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/extensibility/syntaxdefs.html
> * https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/language-support
> * http://www.ultraedit.com/downloads/extras/wordfiles.html#wordfiles
> The basic editor features would usually get replaced once more proper plugins are installed for a given language.
> We could even introduce a mechanism to promote to users the full plugins (from the Plugin Portal, etc) once they start editing given file types.
