Well, actually the JetBrains plugin is Open Source, even Apache 2.0 licensed, so on that part there is nothing wrong with that.

We have just never actually did the simple thing to ask for their code.

I do not say we shall not do the LSP, we shall keep on that route as well.

Hi,

That's one more reason to depend on community based plugins (or language servers) than on proprietary ones.

Yup, that makes sense to me, at least, to focus on LSP instead.

Indeed, we should have asked in that discussion whether they'd like to
donate their Kotlin plugin to Apache NetBeans. Personally, I ended up being very frustrated with their continual "well, there was never much interest
in this plugin and Kotlin in general from the NetBean community", etc,
while that very clearly was not true and they never created a solid plugin
to begin with.

Hi all,

There's a Kotlin Language Server here [1] that seems to be well
supported (11 contributors) and is available under the MIT license.

Maybe we should focus our efforts in helping out the LSP support in
NetBeans [2], which is a long time effort by Jan.

If we help out Jan with the LSP support our users would be able to use
NetBeans for a wide range of languages [3], from Fortran, Nim and Rust
to Lua, TypeScript and PowerShell (but for refactoring, which is lacking
in LSP AFAIK) and, with [1] for Kotlin.

Cheers,
Antonio

I was curious what kind of kotlin support currently exists for netbeans.
