Experimental Ceylon IDE for the NetBeans platform

Ceylon IDE for NetBeans

Status

This is still experimental, but please speak up if you're interested in helping get this project off the ground.

This plugin adds support for the Ceylon programming language to NetBeans.

Current features

• recognize Ceylon files and highlight them
• show parse and type chek errors
• a few quick fixes (mainly to add/remove annotations)
• code completion
• organize imports
• format code (using ceylon.formatter)

How to build

1. Clone the Ceylon distribution
2. From the ceylon directory, run ant setup-sdk setup-ide to pull all the required dependencies
3. Build the Ceylon distribution, SDK etc. by running ant clean-all dist sdk intellij
4. Clone this project
5. Build the NetBeans plugin using ant clean create-update-center
6. Open the project in Eclipse¹ to make changes to Ceylon files in source
7. Open the project in NetBeans to make changes to Java files in src and run the NetBeans module

¹ This is needed because most of the plugin is written in Ceylon, and the plugin cannot build Ceylon code yet.
