| 31 1. Introduction *netbeans-intro* | |
| 32 | |
| 1620 | 33 The NetBeans interface was initially developed to integrate Vim into the |
| 34 NetBeans Java IDE, using the external editor plugin. This NetBeans plugin no | |
| 35 longer exists for recent versions of NetBeans but the protocol was developed | |
| 36 in such a way that any IDE can use it to integrate Vim. | |
| 37 | |
| 38 The NetBeans protocol of Vim is a text based communication protocol, over a | |
| 39 classical TCP socket. There is no dependency on Java or NetBeans. Any language | |
| 40 or environment providing a socket interface can control Vim using this | |
| 41 protocol. There are existing implementations in C, C++, Python and Java. The | |
| 42 name NetBeans is kept today for historical reasons. | |
| 43 | |
| 44 Current projects using the NetBeans protocol of Vim are: | |
| 45 - VimIntegration, description of various projects doing Vim Integration: | |
| 46 http://www.freehackers.org/VimIntegration | |
| 47 - Agide, an IDE for the AAP project, written in Python: | |
| 48 http://www.a-a-p.org | |
| 49 - Clewn, a gdb integration into Vim, written in C: | |
| 50 http://clewn.sourceforge.net/ | |
| 2210 | 51 - Pyclewn, a gdb integration into Vim, written in Python: |
| 52 http://pyclewn.sourceforge.net/ | |
| 1620 | 53 - VimPlugin, integration of Vim inside Eclipse: |
| 54 http://vimplugin.sourceforge.net/wiki/pmwiki.php | |
| 55 - PIDA, IDE written in Python integrating Vim: | |
| 56 http://pida.co.uk/ | |
| 57 - VimWrapper, library to easy Vim integration into IDE: | |
| 58 http://www.freehackers.org/VimWrapper | |

| 1620 | 64 In the rest of this help page, we will use the term "Vim Controller" to |
| 65 describe the program controlling Vim through the NetBeans socket interface. | |
| 66 | |
| 67 | |
| 68 About the NetBeans IDE ~ | |
| 69 | |
| 7 | 70 NetBeans is an open source Integrated Development Environment developed |
| 71 jointly by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and the netbeans.org developer community. | |
| 72 Initially just a Java IDE, NetBeans has had C, C++, and Fortran support added | |
| 73 in recent releases. | |
| 74 | |
| 1620 | 75 For more information visit the main NetBeans web site http://www.netbeans.org. |
| 1668 | 76 The External Editor is now, unfortunately, declared obsolete. See |
| 1620 | 77 http://externaleditor.netbeans.org. |
| 7 | 78 |
| 79 Sun Microsystems, Inc. also ships NetBeans under the name Sun ONE Studio. | |
| 80 Visit http://www.sun.com for more information regarding the Sun ONE Studio | |
| 81 product line. | |
| 82 | |
| 83 Current releases of NetBeans provide full support for Java and limited support | |
| 236 | 84 for C, C++, and Fortran. Current releases of Sun ONE Studio provide full |
| 7 | 85 support for Java, C, C++, and Fortran. |
| 86 | |
| 87 ============================================================================== | |
| 1620 | 88 2. Integration features *netbeans-integration* |
| 7 | 89 |
| 1620 | 90 The NetBeans socket interface of Vim allows to get information from Vim or to |
| 91 ask Vim to perform specific actions: | |
| 92 - get information about buffer: buffer name, cursor position, buffer content, | |
| 93 etc. | |
| 94 - be notified when buffers are open or closed | |
| 95 - be notified of how the buffer content is modified | |
| 96 - load and save files | |
| 97 - modify the buffer content | |
| 98 - installing special key bindings | |
| 99 - raise the window, control the window geometry | |
| 7 | 100 |
| 1620 | 101 For sending key strokes to Vim or for evaluating functions in Vim, you must |
| 102 use the |clientserver| interface. | |
| 7 | 103 |
| 104 | |
| 105 ============================================================================== | |
| 106 3. Configuring Vim for NetBeans *netbeans-configure* | |

| 111 | |
| 1620 | 112 On Unix: |
| 113 -------- | |
| 7 | 114 |
| 115 When running configure without arguments the NetBeans interface should be | |
| 116 included. That is, if the configure check to find out if your system supports | |
| 117 the required features succeeds. | |
| 118 | |
| 119 In case you do not want the NetBeans interface you can disable it by | |
| 120 uncommenting a line with "--disable-netbeans" in the Makefile. | |

| 144 | |
| 145 To use XPM signs on Win32 (e.g. when using with NetBeans) you can compile | |
| 146 XPM by yourself or use precompiled libraries from http://iamphet.nm.ru/misc/ | |
| 147 (for MS Visual C++) or http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net (for MinGW). | |
| 148 | |
| 1620 | 149 Enable debugging: |
| 150 ----------------- | |
| 7 | 151 |
| 1620 | 152 To enable debugging of Vim and of the NetBeans protocol, the "NBDEBUG" macro |
| 153 needs to be defined. Search in the Makefile of the platform you are using for | |
| 154 "NBDEBUG" to see what line needs to be uncommented. This effectively adds | |
| 155 "-DNBDEBUG" to the compile command. Also see |netbeans-debugging| | |

| 7 | 183 |
| 184 *E658* | |
| 1620 | 185 Connection lost for this buffer |
| 186 The Vim Controller has become confused about the state of | |
| 187 this file. Rather than risk data corruption, it has severed | |
| 188 the connection for this file. Vim will take over | |
| 189 responsibility for saving changes to this file and the | |
| 190 Vim Controller will no longer know of these changes. | |
| 7 | 191 |
| 146 | 192 *E744* |
| 1620 | 193 Read-only file |
| 146 | 194 Vim normally allows changes to a read-only file and only |
| 195 enforces the read-only rule if you try to write the file. | |
| 196 However, NetBeans does not let you make changes to a file | |
| 1620 | 197 which is read-only and becomes confused if Vim does this. |
| 198 So Vim does not allow modifications to files when run | |
| 199 in NetBeans mode. | |

219 When started from within Vim, the |:nbstart| optional argument may be: |
| 2210 | 220 |

| 222 :{hostname}:{addr}:{password} directly | |
| 223 <MISSING ARGUMENT> from a file or environment | |
| 224 | |
| 7 | 225 *E660* *E668* |
| 2210 | 226 When NetBeans is started from the command line, for security reasons, the best |
| 227 method is to write the information in a file readable only by the user. The | |
| 228 name of the file can be passed with the "-nb={fname}" argument or, when "-nb" | |
| 229 is used without a parameter, the environment variable "__NETBEANS_CONINFO". | |
| 230 The file must contain these three lines, in any order: | |
| 7 | 231 |
| 232 host={hostname} | |
| 233 port={addr} | |
| 234 auth={password} | |
| 235 | |
| 2210 | 236 Other lines are ignored. The Vim Controller is responsible for deleting the |
| 7 | 237 file afterwards. |
| 238 | |
| 1620 | 239 {hostname} is the name of the machine where Vim Controller is running. When |
| 240 omitted the environment variable "__NETBEANS_HOST" is used or the default | |
| 241 "localhost". | |
| 7 | 242 |
| 1620 | 243 {addr} is the port number for the NetBeans interface. When omitted the |
| 244 environment variable "__NETBEANS_SOCKET" is used or the default 3219. | |
| 7 | 245 |
| 246 {password} is the password for connecting to NetBeans. When omitted the | |
| 247 environment variable "__NETBEANS_VIM_PASSWORD" is used or "changeme". | |
| 248 | |
| 1620 | 249 Vim will initiate a socket connection (client side) to the specified host and |
| 250 port upon startup. The password will be sent with the AUTH event when the | |
| 251 connection has been established. | |
| 252 | |
| 7 | 253 |
| 1620 | 254 ============================================================================== |
| 255 6. NetBeans protocol *netbeans-protocol* | |
| 256 | |
| 257 The communication between the Vim Controller and Vim uses plain text | |
| 258 messages. This protocol was first designed to work with the external editor | |
| 259 module of NetBeans. Later it was extended to work with Agide (A-A-P GUI IDE, | |
| 260 see http://www.a-a-p.org) and then with other IDE. The extensions are marked | |
| 261 with "version 2.1". | |
| 7 | 262 |
| 236 | 263 Version 2.2 of the protocol has several minor changes which should only affect |
| 264 NetBeans users (ie, not Agide users). However, a bug was fixed which could | |
| 265 cause confusion. The netbeans_saved() function sent a "save" protocol | |
| 266 command. In protocol version 2.1 and earlier this was incorrectly interpreted | |
| 267 as a notification that a write had taken place. In reality, it told NetBeans | |
| 268 to save the file so multiple writes were being done. This caused various | |
| 269 problems and has been fixed in 2.2. To decrease the likelihood of this | |
| 7 | 270 confusion happening again, netbeans_saved() has been renamed to |
| 271 netbeans_save_buffer(). | |

| 7 | 276 The messages are currently sent over a socket. Since the messages are in |
| 277 plain UTF-8 text this protocol could also be used with any other communication | |
| 278 mechanism. | |
| 279 | |
| 3151 | 280 Netbeans messages are processed when Vim is idle, waiting for user input. |
| 281 When Vim is run in non-interactive mode, for example when running an automated | |
| 282 test case that sources a Vim script, the idle loop may not be called often | |
| 3312 | 283 enough. In that case, insert |:sleep| commands in the Vim script. The |:sleep| |
| 3151 | 284 command does invoke Netbeans messages processing. |

| 319 bufID Buffer number. A message may be either for a specific buffer | |
| 320 or generic. Generic messages use a bufID of zero. NOTE: this | |
| 321 buffer ID is assigned by the IDE, it is not Vim's buffer | |
| 322 number. The bufID must be a sequentially rising number, | |
| 6697 | 323 starting at one. When the 'switchbuf' option is set to |
| 324 "usetab" and the "bufID" buffer is not found in the current | |
| 325 tab page, the netbeans commands and functions that set this | |
| 326 buffer as the current buffer will jump to the first open | |
| 327 window that contains this buffer in other tab pages instead of | |
| 328 replacing the buffer in the current window. | |
| 7 | 329 |
| 330 seqno The IDE uses a sequence number for Commands and Functions. A | |
| 331 Reply must use the sequence number of the Function that it is | |
| 332 associated with. A zero sequence number can be used for | |
| 333 Events (the seqno of the last received Command or Function can | |
| 334 also be used). | |
| 335 | |
| 336 string Argument in double quotes. Text is in UTF-8 encoding. This | |
| 337 means ASCII is passed as-is. Special characters are | |
| 338 represented with a backslash: | |
| 339 \" double quote | |
| 340 \n newline | |
| 341 \r carriage-return | |
| 342 \t tab (optional, also works literally) | |
| 343 \\ backslash | |
| 344 NUL bytes are not allowed! | |
| 345 | |
| 346 boolean Argument with two possible values: | |
| 347 T true | |
| 348 F false | |
| 349 | |
| 350 number Argument with a decimal number. | |

| 358 offset A number argument that indicates a byte position in a buffer. | |
| 359 The first byte has offset zero. Line breaks are counted for | |
| 360 how they appear in the file (CR/LF counts for two bytes). | |
| 361 Note that a multi-byte character is counted for the number of | |
| 362 bytes it takes. | |
| 363 | |
| 364 lnum/col Argument with a line number and column number position. The | |
| 365 line number starts with one, the column is the byte position, | |
| 366 starting with zero. Note that a multi-byte character counts | |
| 367 for several columns. | |

423 When color is a name, this color is defined both for Vim |
| 14347 | 424 running in a color terminal and for gVim. |
| 7 | 425 When both "fg" and "bg" are "none" no line highlighting is |
| 426 used (new in version 2.1). | |
| 427 When "glyphFile" is empty, no text sign is used (new in | |
| 428 version 2.1). | |
| 429 When "glyphFile" is one or two characters long, a text sign is | |
| 430 defined (new in version 2.1). | |
| 431 Note: the annotations will be defined in sequence, and the | |
| 432 sequence number is later used with addAnno. | |
| 433 | |
| 434 editFile pathname | |
| 435 Set the name for the buffer and edit the file "pathname", a | |
| 436 string argument. | |
| 1620 | 437 Normal way for the IDE to tell the editor to edit a file. |
| 438 | |
| 439 You must set a bufId different of 0 with this command to | |
| 440 assign a bufId to the buffer. It will trigger an event | |
| 441 fileOpened with a bufId of 0 but the buffer has been assigned. | |
| 442 | |
| 443 If the IDE is going to pass the file text to the editor use | |
| 444 these commands instead: | |
| 7 | 445 setFullName |
| 446 insert | |
| 447 initDone | |
| 448 New in version 2.1. | |

| 450 enableBalloonEval | |
| 451 Not implemented. | |
| 452 | |
| 453 endAtomic End an atomic operation. The changes between "startAtomic" | |
| 454 and "endAtomic" can be undone as one operation. But it's not | |
| 455 implemented yet. Redraw when necessary. | |
| 456 | |
| 457 guard off len | |
| 458 Mark an area in the buffer as guarded. This means it cannot | |
| 459 be edited. "off" and "len" are numbers and specify the text | |
| 460 to be guarded. | |
| 461 | |
| 462 initDone Mark the buffer as ready for use. Implicitly makes the buffer | |
| 463 the current buffer. Fires the BufReadPost autocommand event. | |
| 464 | |
| 33 | 465 insertDone |
| 1620 | 466 Sent by Vim Controller to tell Vim an initial file insert is |
| 467 done. This triggers a read message being printed. Prior to | |
| 468 version 2.3, no read messages were displayed after opening a | |
| 469 file. New in version 2.3. | |
| 33 | 470 |
| 7 | 471 moveAnnoToFront serNum |
| 472 Not implemented. | |
| 473 | |
| 474 netbeansBuffer isNetbeansBuffer | |
| 1668 | 475 If "isNetbeansBuffer" is "T" then this buffer is "owned" by |
| 7 | 476 NetBeans. |
| 477 New in version 2.2. | |
| 478 | |
| 479 putBufferNumber pathname | |
| 480 Associate a buffer number with the Vim buffer by the name | |
| 481 "pathname", a string argument. To be used when the editor | |
| 482 reported editing another file to the IDE and the IDE needs to | |
| 483 tell the editor what buffer number it will use for this file. | |
| 484 Also marks the buffer as initialized. | |
| 485 New in version 2.1. | |
| 486 | |
| 487 raise Bring the editor to the foreground. | |

| 491 removeAnno serNum | |
| 6259 | 492 Remove a previously placed annotation for this buffer. |
| 7 | 493 "serNum" is the same number used in addAnno. |
| 494 | |
| 495 save Save the buffer when it was modified. The other side of the | |
| 496 interface is expected to write the buffer and invoke | |
| 497 "setModified" to reset the "changed" flag of the buffer. | |
| 498 The writing is skipped when one of these conditions is true: | |
| 499 - 'write' is not set | |
| 500 - the buffer is read-only | |
| 501 - the buffer does not have a file name | |
| 502 - 'buftype' disallows writing | |

| 515 "pathname". To be used when the editor reported editing | |
| 516 another file to the IDE and the IDE needs to tell the editor | |
| 517 what buffer number it will use for this file. | |
| 518 Has the side effect of making the buffer the current buffer. | |

| 527 If there are folds they are opened to make the cursor line | |
| 528 visible. | |
| 7 | 529 In version 2.1 "lnum/col" can be used instead of "off". |
| 530 | |
| 531 setExitDelay seconds | |
| 532 Set the delay for exiting to "seconds", a number. | |
| 533 This delay is used to give the IDE a chance to handle things | |
| 534 before really exiting. The default delay is two seconds. | |
| 535 New in version 2.1. | |
| 33 | 536 Obsolete in version 2.3. |
| 7 | 537 |
| 538 setFullName pathname | |
| 539 Set the file name to be used for a buffer to "pathname", a | |
| 540 string argument. | |
| 541 Used when the IDE wants to edit a file under control of the | |
| 542 IDE. This makes the buffer the current buffer, but does not | |
| 543 read the file. "insert" commands will be used next to set the | |
| 544 contents. | |

| 568 by Vim. | |
| 7 | 569 |
| 570 setVisible visible | |
| 571 When the boolean argument "visible" is "T", goto the buffer. | |

| 647 have changes, one if it does have changes. | |
| 648 When no buffer is specified (buffer number zero): Return the | |
| 649 number of buffers with changes. When the result is zero it's | |

| 655 123 "first line\nsecond line\n" | |
| 656 NOTE: docs indicate an offset and length argument, but this is | |
| 657 not implemented. | |
| 658 | |
| 659 insert off text | |
| 660 Insert "text" before position "off". "text" is a string | |
| 661 argument, "off" a number. | |
| 1620 | 662 "text" should have a "\n" (newline) at the end of each line. |
| 718 | 663 Or "\r\n" when 'fileformat' is "dos". When using "insert" in |
| 664 an empty buffer Vim will set 'fileformat' accordingly. | |
| 665 When "off" points to the start of a line the text is inserted | |
| 666 above this line. Thus when "off" is zero lines are inserted | |
| 667 before the first line. | |
| 668 When "off" points after the start of a line, possibly on the | |
| 669 NUL at the end of a line, the first line of text is appended | |
| 670 to this line. Further lines come below it. | |

| 688 saveAndExit Perform the equivalent of closing Vim: ":confirm qall". | |
| 689 If there are no changed files or the user does not cancel the | |

| 691 consider closing the connection as a successful result. | |
| 692 If the user cancels the operation the number of modified | |

| 888 9. Debugging NetBeans protocol *netbeans-debugging* | |
| 889 | |
| 890 To debug the Vim protocol, you must first compile Vim with debugging support | |
| 891 and NetBeans debugging support. See |netbeans-configure| for instructions | |
| 892 about Vim compiling and how to enable debug support. | |
| 893 | |
| 894 When running Vim, set the following environment variables: | |
| 895 | |
| 896 export SPRO_GVIM_DEBUG=netbeans.log | |
| 897 export SPRO_GVIM_DLEVEL=0xffffffff | |
| 898 | |
| 899 Vim will then log all the incoming and outgoing messages of the NetBeans | |
| 900 protocol to the file netbeans.log . | |
| 901 | |
| 902 The content of netbeans.log after a session looks like this: | |
| 903 Tue May 20 17:19:27 2008 | |
| 904 EVT: 0:startupDone=0 | |
| 905 CMD 1: (1) create | |

| 922 10. NetBeans External Editor | |
| 923 | |
| 924 NOTE: This information is obsolete! Only relevant if you are using an old | |
| 925 version of NetBeans. | |
| 926 | |
| 927 | |
| 928 10.1. Downloading NetBeans *netbeans-download* | |
| 929 | |
| 930 The NetBeans IDE is available for download from netbeans.org. You can download | |
| 931 a released version, download sources, or use CVS to download the current | |
| 932 source tree. If you choose to download sources, follow directions from | |
| 933 netbeans.org on building NetBeans. | |
| 934 | |
| 935 Depending on the version of NetBeans you download, you may need to do further | |
| 936 work to get the required External Editor module. This is the module which lets | |
| 937 NetBeans work with gvim (or xemacs :-). See http://externaleditor.netbeans.org | |
| 938 for details on downloading this module if your NetBeans release does not have | |
| 939 it. | |
| 940 | |
| 941 For C, C++, and Fortran support you will also need the cpp module. See | |
| 942 http://cpp.netbeans.org for information regarding this module. | |
| 943 | |
| 944 You can also download Sun ONE Studio from Sun Microsystems, Inc for a 30 day | |
| 945 free trial. See http://www.sun.com for further details. | |
| 946 | |
| 947 | |
| 948 10.2. NetBeans Key Bindings *netbeans-keybindings* | |
| 949 | |
| 950 Vim understands a number of key bindings that execute NetBeans commands. | |
| 951 These are typically all the Function key combinations. To execute a NetBeans | |
| 952 command, the user must press the Pause key followed by a NetBeans key binding. | |
| 953 For example, in order to compile a Java file, the NetBeans key binding is | |
| 954 "F9". So, while in vim, press "Pause F9" to compile a java file. To toggle a | |
| 955 breakpoint at the current line, press "Pause Shift F8". | |
| 956 | |
| 957 The Pause key is Function key 21. If you don't have a working Pause key and | |
| 958 want to use F8 instead, use: > | |
| 959 | |
| 960 :map <F8> <F21> | |
| 961 | |
| 962 The External Editor module dynamically reads the NetBeans key bindings so vim | |
| 963 should always have the latest key bindings, even when NetBeans changes them. | |
| 964 | |
| 965 | |
| 966 10.3. Preparing NetBeans for Vim *netbeans-preparation* | |
| 967 | |
| 968 In order for NetBeans to work with vim, the NetBeans External Editor module | |
| 969 must be loaded and enabled. If you have a Sun ONE Studio Enterprise Edition | |
| 970 then this module should be loaded and enabled. If you have a NetBeans release | |
| 971 you may need to find another way of obtaining this open source module. | |
| 972 | |
| 973 You can check if you have this module by opening the Tools->Options dialog | |
| 974 and drilling down to the "Modules" list (IDE Configuration->System->Modules). | |
| 975 If your Modules list has an entry for "External Editor" you must make sure | |
| 976 it is enabled (the "Enabled" property should have the value "True"). If your | |
| 977 Modules list has no External Editor see the next section on |obtaining-exted|. | |
| 978 | |
| 979 | |
| 980 10.4. Obtaining the External Editor Module *obtaining-exted* | |
| 981 | |
| 982 There are 2 ways of obtaining the External Editor module. The easiest way | |
| 983 is to use the NetBeans Update Center to download and install the module. | |
| 984 Unfortunately, some versions do not have this module in their update | |
| 985 center. If you cannot download via the update center you will need to | |
| 986 download sources and build the module. I will try and get the module | |
| 987 available from the NetBeans Update Center so building will be unnecessary. | |
| 988 Also check http://externaleditor.netbeans.org for other availability options. | |
| 989 | |
| 990 To download the External Editor sources via CVS and build your own module, | |
| 991 see http://externaleditor.netbeans.org and http://www.netbeans.org. | |
| 992 Unfortunately, this is not a trivial procedure. | |
| 993 | |
| 994 | |
| 995 10.5. Setting up NetBeans to run with Vim *netbeans-setup* | |
| 996 | |
| 997 Assuming you have loaded and enabled the NetBeans External Editor module | |
| 998 as described in |netbeans-preparation| all you need to do is verify that | |
| 999 the gvim command line is properly configured for your environment. | |
| 1000 | |
| 1001 Open the Tools->Options dialog and open the Editing category. Select the | |
| 1002 External Editor. The right hand pane should contain a Properties tab and | |
| 1003 an Expert tab. In the Properties tab make sure the "Editor Type" is set | |
| 1004 to "Vim". In the Expert tab make sure the "Vim Command" is correct. | |
| 1005 | |
| 1006 You should be careful if you change the "Vim Command". There are command | |
| 1007 line options there which must be there for the connection to be properly | |
| 1008 set up. You can change the command name but that's about it. If your gvim | |
| 11473 | 1009 can be found by your $PATH then the Vim Command can start with "gvim". If |
| 1620 | 1010 you don't want gvim searched from your $PATH then hard code in the full |
| 1011 Unix path name. At this point you should get a gvim for any source file | |
| 1012 you open in NetBeans. | |
| 1013 | |
| 1014 If some files come up in gvim and others (with different file suffixes) come | |
| 1015 up in the default NetBeans editor you should verify the MIME type in the | |
| 1016 Expert tab MIME Type property. NetBeans is MIME oriented and the External | |
| 1017 Editor will only open MIME types specified in this property. | |
| 1018 | |
