Re: Apache NetBeans Language Server Extension for VS Code

[Eric Bresie]

Short answer. No

Longer answer: Netbeans extension for VS Code provides Netbeans Java IDE 
functionality via LSP interfaces.

LSP is a way of providing a standardized support for new languages across 
editors. So this uses Netbeans LSP implementation for use in Visual Studio Code

Re: Apache NetBeans Language Server Extension for VS Code

Hi Al.
I'm definitely a Netbeans fan.  This all came about when I started 
looking into various Note Organising apps for my Uni course.  The one I 
have decided on using is an Extension to VS Code: Dendron. It's the best 
of the bunch for what I'm after.  And yer, VS Code can be a bit of a 
challenge to navigate.  Most of it's capabilities are buried in the 
Command drop-down (Ctrl-Shift-P)!  If I wasn't studying full-time, I'd 
develop my own app for this, probably using the Netbeans architecture.

The other day I needed to make a change uniformly to about 200 HTML 
files including a newline in the replacement text. It was easy enough 
to bring up the boxes for the text to find and the text to replace it 
with, but then I just couldn't figure out how to tell VS Code to 
execute the replacement. I almost looked it up on the Web. I went 
back, and realized it was a little button I had to click on.


Also, it's a resource hog. Try carrying out a Zoom meeting with VS 
Code running. But apparently VS Code with Salesforce extensions is the 
only way available to write Salesforce Lightning Web Components. I 
felt like I needed a Bat-computer to handle VS Code.


For Java, we have three great choices, of which I like NetBeans the 
best. And if those weren't available for some reason, I'd rather use 
Notepad and the command line than VS Code.

Bundle / Message Attributes - Annotations vs File Base

[Eric Bresie]

While working on Netbean Plugin project, I noticed in multiple examples of
code, that some code Netbean code leverage "file based" bundle files and
elsewhere leverages "Annotation" based code which results (from what I see)
in some "auto generated" files being created.

WIth that in mind, can anyone identify any tutorials, documentation, best
practices, etc.  on the preferred way of this?

Assume usage is to basically have "properties" (based on a bundle
attribute) for use throughout the code.  So how should these be defined (in
what context), how should these be loaded/retrieved (i.e. load from file,
initialized [static or otherwise]), and how should they be references (i.e.
"get bundle attribute x"  for use in code)?
