Hi Miroslav, While I wouldn't be a user of this, I think its great to see someone so passionate about new features in NetBeans.
But I think the pushback your seeing is that while its great to see new feature requests, the operating model of NetBeans has changed with the move to Apache. In the past, you might have been able to put forward a new feature request, and in a future release, it might have arrived. This isn't how NetBeans works moving forward. We're now a community-driven project, if you have a feature request then please do add it to JIRA[1], and comment on the mailing lists about it, encourage others to vote for it. But in the end, it's going to need a "champion", someone that can take the time to look to implement the feature, or indeed someone to organise a few people to work on it if its a larger feature and others show an interest. Without this "champion" it's hard to see any feature request get implemented if no one else sees's its benefit. Probably one of the best things you could do is to create a JIRA, and then maybe start a confluence page under[2], documenting what the actual requirement is. Break down the areas of the IDE that might be affected, what might need to change, what might need to be added etc... Maybe then as people see how much effort is involved, it might help others get involved. Maybe you might then see that its enough for one people and implement it into the IDE, or maybe you might see there's a lot of work to be done and it might not be worth it in the end - I just don't know.
