I was hoping for some guidance and/or pointers to documentation or tutorials on how to add new Language support to Netbeans.
I understand there being movement towards using LSP rather than full language support within a give language module without LSP. Is the preferred route to use LSP or native support? And what is the pros/con of each approach? For native support... I found some older articles (1) which provides some details but wasn’t sure if this is still the “best practice” in current Netbeans or if there is another preferred way or even new tutorials. There are also some older documents on the old Netbeans site (4)(5)(6) (not sure where on the new site so providing archived versions) but now sure how up to date these are. For LSP support... I find a discussion on similar implementation on a new language here (2) which provides some guidance as well as another’s related to the VS Code LSP activities (3) It seems for LSP the general consensus is to look at the cpplite and Typescript implementations as good examples of LSP based. So what other newer guidance is available and/or recommended?
