@vieiro About support for C/C++ in NetBeans. Many developers use the old C/C++ plugin (cnd) from the 8.2 plugin portal, but on a current NetBeans release or development version of NetBeans. It is feature rich. The CPPLite Kit is still in development and is the way to go as this uses a C/C++ language server and is indeed very promising. NetBeans is currently undergoing a C/C++ transition which is good. So the debugging documentation is very relevant to anyone using C/C++ with NetBeans; and setting breakpoints, watchpoints, backtraces, ... are now relevant and will also be required in the future for CPPLite. It will be much easier to port the doc, than to write it from scratch---although I suspect the debugger interface will remain the same as (or similar to) the old one, even if the clang debugger were to be supported by NetBeans. Although C/C++ is not _officially_ supported by NetBeans there are a lot of people currently using the old plugin. I'd even go as far as to suggest that the C/C++ tutorials page be linked to the NetBeans learning trail---noting that this is still experimental etc. Also details of installing the old C/C++ on a current NetBeans version; and a list of all the things that work/don't work would be nice to have and linked to the current set of C/C++ doc...that documentation is still good and relevant. Well, that's how my partially informed view of C/C++ in NetBeans is; but please correct me if I'm wrong. Moreover, you might have very valid reasons for not doing this. Thanks a million for all the great work, very much appreciated. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
