Hi Eddy,
those lexers would be for RIFE-specific highlighting of template tags
for instance, like the yellow you see here:
http://rifers.org/03_numberguess/src/templates/guess.html.html
I have this setup in X-develop with a plugin since several months and I
really find it very helpful.
The more I read about your vision of the plugin, the more I find that
NetBeans already provides facilities to do that.
If you look at the attached screenshot (sorry for posting screenshots,
but I find it hard to illustrate for non-NetBeans users), you will see
that:
1. the web site structure is obvious from the tree structure in the
project window
2. there is syntax highlighting and auto-completion for RIFE XML files
3. XML configuration files and Element subclasses are readily acccessible
I don't see much difference with when you browse the jumpstart directory
structure. This is just implicit to how RIFE structures things itself.
The XML tag completion is nice though, but you get that with Eclipse WTP
too iirc. Maybe I'm overlooking something in your screenshot though.
My main issue is about code hyperlinking, ie. to go easily from your
Java code to the Element declaration, or the template, etc etc. Without
having to search for it. When you have a project with hundreds of
elements and templates, that are organized in a hierarchy, this is a
very welcome addition. It's not that you can't find them again easily
yourself, it's that you save a couple of seconds each time you have to.
This all just contributes to the general comfort while coding.
Best regards,
Geert
