There is a somewhat relevant discussion here, though: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/netbeans-dev/202007.mbox/%3Cf6631d66-84b6-239b-a73e-eb4430c23670%40vieiro.net%3E But, to me, that seems like a very temporary solution - I don't think there's any realistic way to fix bugs there or enhance it. > Introducing a new codebase might bring it's own issues and headaches such > as separate installation of language server. > Sure.

I guess the work on CND has two parts: -the easy one is to resolve most of the file copying from the readme and changing the license headers. For example, we can probably use "cnd.debugger.common2/src/org/netbeans/modules/cnd/debugger/common2/icons/debugger_log.png" from the original CDDL sources, it just needs to be properly marked. It will be some work to find the solutions, but not that different from what was done for other languages. -what worries me are the parsers for C/C++ - not only some files for the parsers are missing, the more troublesome part is that we will need to update those over time, to fix bugs and add support fo new language features. So someone will need to take care of this - and I don't think I have enough time for that. So, I think volunteers are welcome.
