I 'd like to take this opportunity to mention that NetBeans loses many users because it simply doesn't support many other languages anymore, and it is not easy to migrate the many half-baked plugins <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Community+plugins> from older versions to the latest Apache NetBeans platform.
- JavaCC <https://javacc.github.io/javacc/> is the old way - ANTLR <https://www.antlr.org/> is the modern way, but it is not easy to keep the many languages up-to-date; there are a number of tutorials on how to create a NB plugin using ANTLR, many outdated, with the best one in the Apache NetBeans book - LSP <https://langserver.org/> seems to be gaining ground, but there are no tutorials, apart from Jan Lahoda's rudimental one <https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/lsp-client-demo-ba-sh>. I plan to also write a tutorial on the various ways (e.g. javacc, antlr, lsp) but it will take time, which I don't have in my already very heavy list of ToDos. I don't know how we could: - organise to write tutorials on how to port a new language as a NetBeans plugin - port the half-baked plugins <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Community+plugins> providing help to the respective authors ; the NetBeans Platform APIs have changed during time, and it is not obvious how to migrate old code Kind regards, Ioannis.
