Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-7:
---------------------------------------
And what I can think of is that we have maybe one or 2 config files like a json
file or XML (More the NetBeans way) where I choose the extension, the mimetype,
some other config like braces matching as you can see it here:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rls-vscode/blob/master/language-configuration.json
This will be very easy to put such files inside of a folder where NetBeans
reads them out, for only
- simple coloring
- pair/braces matching
- code snippets
- formatting.
The other stuff like code completion and go to whatever and find usage I know
that this is not that easy possible w/o doing stuff with Java. But for the
other stuff, it should be easy to not make much work with java. Only one or 2
json/xml/whatever file with the config/tokens/braces matching/snippets and
thats it.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ide - UI
> Reporter: Emilian Bold
> Priority: Major

> 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

> * 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.
