Thank you provide the document.
I like most of the features described in this doc.
My original intention is providing a alternative of clickide for
NetBeans user.
I will do my best to implement them.

May be you misunderstood my meanings.
Currently the click.xml is lack of Dtd declaration header, like the
following.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE click-app PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Click Configuration 2.1//EN"
"http://click.apache.org/dtds/click-2.1.dtd";>
<click-app>
....
</click-app>
-1 for this.
There's no need to "bloat" the click.xml :).
It only takes one line code in most IDEs API (in custom plug-ins), to
enforce a specific DTD(or schema) upon a specific XML file.
In the click.xml, providing a doctype declaration(the red section, it
is just an example) is helpful for IDE. NetBeans IDE can use this
declaration to determine if this file is a click configuration file
and provide basic code completion automatically (extra code
completion is provided by Code completion api , my plugin provide
extra code completion for package, path and classname attribute value).
Yes, as IDE users, we are aware of this :), but please note that in
most projects, once created(mostly copied from other project) this
click.xml file is almost never changed, so concentrating the IDE
features on it won't gain any productivity boost :).
A previous Click committer created a very nice list of "efficient
features" (roadmap) for a possible NB plug-in (but it's general enough
for other IDEs).
I attached a PDF version of that list for you.
Adrian.
