Basic syntax hightlighting for JSNI

[markiewb]

@Chris2011: Why not? Improvements are better than nothing.

[Chris2011]

It's not real JavaScript code I think, because :: doesn't exists in JS.

[Chris2011]

Is this project still alive? Other IDE's like IDEA and Eclipse have a lot of GWT support.

[markiewb]

Afaik: The plugin for eclipse is developed by Google. The plugin for Idea
is developed Jetbrains. This plugin is created by a dev in his free time.

If you want a specific feature implement it yourself and provide a pull
request. Or make a donation so that the author is motivated to spend his
deserved free time to implement it. My 2 cents

Best regards, markiewb

See https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250751

@ksfreitas started the support years ago

Here is the code, if someone wants to jump in: https://github.com/ksfreitas/NBGwt/commit/dd834e9132cbbf4005642654b4ee9566cdc5f979

[Chris2011]

As I see it right, it is already implemented in trunk: https://github.com/ksfreitas/gwt4nb/blob/master/trunk/src/org/netbeans/modules/gwt4nb/JsniLanguage.java

but it doesn't work.

[Chris2011]

Maybe this could be an option? https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/embedding_javascript_editor_in_java

[Chris2011]

So based on the blog entry from Geertjan, I implemented it here: https://github.com/Chris2011/gwt4nb/blob/jsni-feature/branches/standalone_nbm_prj/src/org/netbeans/modules/gwt4nb/JSNISupport.java

So we have syntax highlighting and code completion ONLY for code templates. So no real code completion. I think it's a bit harder for embedded languages. And I got a NPE after I open a maven multi module project. embeddedLanguage is null. If someone can help maybe, Would be great.

[Chris2011]

I commented out the null check so the NPE is gone ^^. But should be fixed. Pull request worthy?

[Chris2011]

You are right.

[markiewb]

@Chris2011: Do you know a maven based GWT sample project, where I can try out your feature?

[Chris2011]

Unfortunately not, but maybe this? https://github.com/steinsag/gwt-maven-example and add a class with JSNI.

[markiewb]

Here are some samples

    public static native void alert(String msg) /*-{
  $wnd.alert(msg);
}-*/;

    public static native double getPageStartTime()/*-{
            if (true){
                return new Long();
            }
            return 34;
            }-*/;

    public final native void setName(String name) /*-{
   [email protected]::jso.name = name;
}-*/;
