There are currently two Kotlin plugins.
JetBrains Kotlin plugin
Donated by JetBreains.
Original URL: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-netbeans
It can be found inside contrib
folder of Apache NetBeans source code:
https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-netbeans/issues/137
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1398
Steps to build it:
- The
pom.xml
requires some dependencies that are not in the central maven repository. These are:asm-all.jar, idea-formatter.jar, intellij-core.jar, kotlin-converter.jar, kotlin-formatter.jar, kotlin-ide-common.jar, openapi-formatter.jar
.intellij-core.jar
artifact could be directly taken from: https://www.jetbrains.com/intellij-repository/releases. The other artifacts can be found at https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-eclipse project inside thekotlin-bundled-compiler
folder. Once you have collected all these libraries, create a lib folder insidekotlin-netbeans
project and paste them inside there. - In NetBeans, click on Tools → Plugins → Settings tab and add a new plugin Portal: Name: NetBeans 8.2 Plugin Portal, URL: http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/8.2/uc/final/distribution/catalog.xml.gz. Make it active.
However, the plugin contains Kotlin code that needs to be built/migrated to the latest Kotlin compiler version. Anyone fluent in Kotlin is welcome to work with Ioannis to do that.
However, NetBeans 12.x already provides some basic support via java/kotlin.editor
module. One can open a .kt
file via the Windows→Favourites tab.
It uses Kotlin.tmLanguage.json
. This JavaDoc explains how to integrate a TextMate lexer with NetBeans.
There are also contrib/groovy.grails
and contrib/groovy.grailsproject
.
