| 30 1. Introduction *netbeans-intro* | |
| 31 | |
| 1620 | 32 The NetBeans interface was initially developed to integrate Vim into the |
| 33 NetBeans Java IDE, using the external editor plugin. This NetBeans plugin no | |
| 34 longer exists for recent versions of NetBeans but the protocol was developed | |
| 35 in such a way that any IDE can use it to integrate Vim. | |
| 36 | |
| 37 The NetBeans protocol of Vim is a text based communication protocol, over a | |
| 38 classical TCP socket. There is no dependency on Java or NetBeans. Any language | |
| 39 or environment providing a socket interface can control Vim using this | |
| 40 protocol. There are existing implementations in C, C++, Python and Java. The | |
| 41 name NetBeans is kept today for historical reasons. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 Current projects using the NetBeans protocol of Vim are: | |
| 44 - VimIntegration, description of various projects doing Vim Integration: | |
| 45 http://www.freehackers.org/VimIntegration | |
| 46 - Agide, an IDE for the AAP project, written in Python: | |
| 47 http://www.a-a-p.org | |
| 48 - Clewn, a gdb integration into Vim, written in C: | |
| 49 http://clewn.sourceforge.net/ | |
| 2210 | 50 - Pyclewn, a gdb integration into Vim, written in Python: |
| 51 http://pyclewn.sourceforge.net/ | |
| 1620 | 52 - VimPlugin, integration of Vim inside Eclipse: |
| 53 http://vimplugin.sourceforge.net/wiki/pmwiki.php | |
| 54 - PIDA, IDE written in Python integrating Vim: | |
| 55 http://pida.co.uk/ | |
| 56 - VimWrapper, library to easy Vim integration into IDE: | |
| 57 http://www.freehackers.org/VimWrapper | |

| 1620 | 63 In the rest of this help page, we will use the term "Vim Controller" to |
| 64 describe the program controlling Vim through the NetBeans socket interface. | |
| 65 | |
| 66 | |
| 67 About the NetBeans IDE ~ | |
| 68 | |
| 7 | 69 NetBeans is an open source Integrated Development Environment developed |
| 70 jointly by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and the netbeans.org developer community. | |
| 71 Initially just a Java IDE, NetBeans has had C, C++, and Fortran support added | |
| 72 in recent releases. | |
| 73 | |
| 1620 | 74 For more information visit the main NetBeans web site http://www.netbeans.org. |
| 1668 | 75 The External Editor is now, unfortunately, declared obsolete. See |
| 1620 | 76 http://externaleditor.netbeans.org. |
| 7 | 77 |
| 78 Sun Microsystems, Inc. also ships NetBeans under the name Sun ONE Studio. | |
| 79 Visit http://www.sun.com for more information regarding the Sun ONE Studio | |
| 80 product line. | |
| 81 | |
| 82 Current releases of NetBeans provide full support for Java and limited support | |
| 236 | 83 for C, C++, and Fortran. Current releases of Sun ONE Studio provide full |
| 7 | 84 support for Java, C, C++, and Fortran. |
| 85 | |
| 86 ============================================================================== | |
| 1620 | 87 2. Integration features *netbeans-integration* |
| 7 | 88 |
| 1620 | 89 The NetBeans socket interface of Vim allows to get information from Vim or to |
| 90 ask Vim to perform specific actions: | |
| 91 - get information about buffer: buffer name, cursor position, buffer content, | |
| 92 etc. | |
| 93 - be notified when buffers are open or closed | |
| 94 - be notified of how the buffer content is modified | |
| 95 - load and save files | |
| 96 - modify the buffer content | |
| 97 - installing special key bindings | |
| 98 - raise the window, control the window geometry | |
| 7 | 99 |
| 1620 | 100 For sending key strokes to Vim or for evaluating functions in Vim, you must |
| 101 use the |clientserver| interface. | |
| 7 | 102 |
| 103 | |

| 110 | |
| 1620 | 111 On Unix: |
| 112 -------- | |
| 7 | 113 |
| 114 When running configure without arguments the NetBeans interface should be | |
| 115 included. That is, if the configure check to find out if your system supports | |
| 116 the required features succeeds. | |
| 117 | |
| 118 In case you do not want the NetBeans interface you can disable it by | |
| 119 uncommenting a line with "--disable-netbeans" in the Makefile. | |

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

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

218 When started from within Vim, the |:nbstart| optional argument may be: |
| 2210 | 219 |
| 220 ={fname} from a file | |
| 221 :{hostname}:{addr}:{password} directly | |
| 222 <MISSING ARGUMENT> from a file or environment | |
| 223 | |
| 7 | 224 *E660* *E668* |
| 2210 | 225 When NetBeans is started from the command line, for security reasons, the best |
| 226 method is to write the information in a file readable only by the user. The | |
| 227 name of the file can be passed with the "-nb={fname}" argument or, when "-nb" | |
| 228 is used without a parameter, the environment variable "__NETBEANS_CONINFO". | |
| 229 The file must contain these three lines, in any order: | |
| 7 | 230 |
| 231 host={hostname} | |
| 232 port={addr} | |
| 233 auth={password} | |
| 234 | |
| 2210 | 235 Other lines are ignored. The Vim Controller is responsible for deleting the |
| 7 | 236 file afterwards. |
| 237 | |
| 1620 | 238 {hostname} is the name of the machine where Vim Controller is running. When |
| 239 omitted the environment variable "__NETBEANS_HOST" is used or the default | |
| 240 "localhost". | |
| 7 | 241 |
| 1620 | 242 {addr} is the port number for the NetBeans interface. When omitted the |
| 243 environment variable "__NETBEANS_SOCKET" is used or the default 3219. | |
| 7 | 244 |
| 245 {password} is the password for connecting to NetBeans. When omitted the | |
| 246 environment variable "__NETBEANS_VIM_PASSWORD" is used or "changeme". | |
| 247 | |
| 1620 | 248 Vim will initiate a socket connection (client side) to the specified host and |
| 249 port upon startup. The password will be sent with the AUTH event when the | |
| 250 connection has been established. | |
| 251 | |
| 7 | 252 |
| 1620 | 253 ============================================================================== |
| 254 6. NetBeans protocol *netbeans-protocol* | |
| 255 | |
| 256 The communication between the Vim Controller and Vim uses plain text | |
| 257 messages. This protocol was first designed to work with the external editor | |
| 258 module of NetBeans. Later it was extended to work with Agide (A-A-P GUI IDE, | |
| 259 see http://www.a-a-p.org) and then with other IDE. The extensions are marked | |
| 260 with "version 2.1". | |
| 7 | 261 |
| 236 | 262 Version 2.2 of the protocol has several minor changes which should only affect |
| 263 NetBeans users (ie, not Agide users). However, a bug was fixed which could | |
| 264 cause confusion. The netbeans_saved() function sent a "save" protocol | |
| 265 command. In protocol version 2.1 and earlier this was incorrectly interpreted | |
| 266 as a notification that a write had taken place. In reality, it told NetBeans | |
| 267 to save the file so multiple writes were being done. This caused various | |
| 268 problems and has been fixed in 2.2. To decrease the likelihood of this | |
| 7 | 269 confusion happening again, netbeans_saved() has been renamed to |
| 270 netbeans_save_buffer(). | |

| 7 | 275 The messages are currently sent over a socket. Since the messages are in |
| 276 plain UTF-8 text this protocol could also be used with any other communication | |
| 277 mechanism. | |
| 278 | |
| 3151 | 279 Netbeans messages are processed when Vim is idle, waiting for user input. |
| 280 When Vim is run in non-interactive mode, for example when running an automated | |
| 281 test case that sources a Vim script, the idle loop may not be called often | |
| 3312 | 282 enough. In that case, insert |:sleep| commands in the Vim script. The |:sleep| |
| 3151 | 283 command does invoke Netbeans messages processing. |

| 318 bufID Buffer number. A message may be either for a specific buffer | |
| 319 or generic. Generic messages use a bufID of zero. NOTE: this | |
| 320 buffer ID is assigned by the IDE, it is not Vim's buffer | |
| 321 number. The bufID must be a sequentially rising number, | |
| 6697 | 322 starting at one. When the 'switchbuf' option is set to |
| 323 "usetab" and the "bufID" buffer is not found in the current | |
| 324 tab page, the netbeans commands and functions that set this | |
| 325 buffer as the current buffer will jump to the first open | |
| 326 window that contains this buffer in other tab pages instead of | |
| 327 replacing the buffer in the current window. | |
| 7 | 328 |
| 329 seqno The IDE uses a sequence number for Commands and Functions. A | |
| 330 Reply must use the sequence number of the Function that it is | |
| 331 associated with. A zero sequence number can be used for | |
| 332 Events (the seqno of the last received Command or Function can | |
| 333 also be used). | |
| 334 | |
| 335 string Argument in double quotes. Text is in UTF-8 encoding. This | |
| 336 means ASCII is passed as-is. Special characters are | |
| 337 represented with a backslash: | |
| 338 \" double quote | |
| 339 \n newline | |
| 340 \r carriage-return | |
| 341 \t tab (optional, also works literally) | |
| 342 \\ backslash | |
| 343 NUL bytes are not allowed! | |
| 344 | |
| 345 boolean Argument with two possible values: | |
| 346 T true | |
| 347 F false | |
| 348 | |
| 349 number Argument with a decimal number. | |

355 New in version 2.5. |
| 7 | 356 |
| 357 offset A number argument that indicates a byte position in a buffer. | |
| 358 The first byte has offset zero. Line breaks are counted for | |
| 359 how they appear in the file (CR/LF counts for two bytes). | |
| 360 Note that a multi-byte character is counted for the number of | |
| 361 bytes it takes. | |
| 362 | |
| 363 lnum/col Argument with a line number and column number position. The | |
| 364 line number starts with one, the column is the byte position, | |
| 365 starting with zero. Note that a multi-byte character counts | |
| 366 for several columns. | |
| 367 | |

| 398 (it's hidden when it was changed). | |
| 1620 | 399 The Vim Controller should use this as the first command for a |
| 400 file that is being opened. The sequence of commands could be: | |
| 7 | 401 create |
| 402 setCaretListener (ignored) | |

422 When color is a name, this color is defined both for Vim |
| 14347 | 423 running in a color terminal and for gVim. |
| 7 | 424 When both "fg" and "bg" are "none" no line highlighting is |
| 425 used (new in version 2.1). | |
| 426 When "glyphFile" is empty, no text sign is used (new in | |
| 427 version 2.1). | |
| 428 When "glyphFile" is one or two characters long, a text sign is | |
| 429 defined (new in version 2.1). | |
| 430 Note: the annotations will be defined in sequence, and the | |
| 431 sequence number is later used with addAnno. | |
| 432 | |
| 433 editFile pathname | |
| 434 Set the name for the buffer and edit the file "pathname", a | |
| 435 string argument. | |
| 1620 | 436 Normal way for the IDE to tell the editor to edit a file. |
| 437 | |
| 438 You must set a bufId different of 0 with this command to | |
| 439 assign a bufId to the buffer. It will trigger an event | |
| 440 fileOpened with a bufId of 0 but the buffer has been assigned. | |
| 441 | |
| 442 If the IDE is going to pass the file text to the editor use | |
| 443 these commands instead: | |
| 7 | 444 setFullName |
| 445 insert | |
| 446 initDone | |
| 447 New in version 2.1. | |
| 448 | |
| 449 enableBalloonEval | |
| 450 Not implemented. | |
| 451 | |
| 452 endAtomic End an atomic operation. The changes between "startAtomic" | |
| 453 and "endAtomic" can be undone as one operation. But it's not | |
| 454 implemented yet. Redraw when necessary. | |
| 455 | |
| 456 guard off len | |
| 457 Mark an area in the buffer as guarded. This means it cannot | |
| 458 be edited. "off" and "len" are numbers and specify the text | |
| 459 to be guarded. | |
| 460 | |
| 461 initDone Mark the buffer as ready for use. Implicitly makes the buffer | |
| 462 the current buffer. Fires the BufReadPost autocommand event. | |
| 463 | |
| 33 | 464 insertDone |
| 1620 | 465 Sent by Vim Controller to tell Vim an initial file insert is |
| 466 done. This triggers a read message being printed. Prior to | |
| 467 version 2.3, no read messages were displayed after opening a | |
| 468 file. New in version 2.3. | |
| 33 | 469 |
| 7 | 470 moveAnnoToFront serNum |
| 471 Not implemented. | |
| 472 | |
| 473 netbeansBuffer isNetbeansBuffer | |
| 1668 | 474 If "isNetbeansBuffer" is "T" then this buffer is "owned" by |
| 7 | 475 NetBeans. |
| 476 New in version 2.2. | |
| 477 | |
| 478 putBufferNumber pathname | |
| 479 Associate a buffer number with the Vim buffer by the name | |
| 480 "pathname", a string argument. To be used when the editor | |
| 481 reported editing another file to the IDE and the IDE needs to | |
| 482 tell the editor what buffer number it will use for this file. | |
| 483 Also marks the buffer as initialized. | |
| 484 New in version 2.1. | |
| 485 | |
| 486 raise Bring the editor to the foreground. | |

| 489 | |
| 490 removeAnno serNum | |
| 6259 | 491 Remove a previously placed annotation for this buffer. |
| 7 | 492 "serNum" is the same number used in addAnno. |
| 493 | |
| 494 save Save the buffer when it was modified. The other side of the | |
| 495 interface is expected to write the buffer and invoke | |
| 496 "setModified" to reset the "changed" flag of the buffer. | |
| 497 The writing is skipped when one of these conditions is true: | |
| 498 - 'write' is not set | |
| 499 - the buffer is read-only | |
| 500 - the buffer does not have a file name | |
| 501 - 'buftype' disallows writing | |
| 502 New in version 2.2. | |

| 33 | 504 saveDone |
| 1620 | 505 Sent by Vim Controller to tell Vim a save is done. This |
| 506 triggers a save message being printed. Prior to version 2.3, | |
| 507 no save messages were displayed after a save. | |

| 511 | |
| 512 setBufferNumber pathname | |
| 513 Associate a buffer number with Vim buffer by the name | |
| 514 "pathname". To be used when the editor reported editing | |
| 515 another file to the IDE and the IDE needs to tell the editor | |
| 516 what buffer number it will use for this file. | |
| 517 Has the side effect of making the buffer the current buffer. | |

| 525 than make that window the current window. | |
| 526 If there are folds they are opened to make the cursor line | |
| 527 visible. | |
| 7 | 528 In version 2.1 "lnum/col" can be used instead of "off". |
| 529 | |
| 530 setExitDelay seconds | |
| 531 Set the delay for exiting to "seconds", a number. | |
| 532 This delay is used to give the IDE a chance to handle things | |
| 533 before really exiting. The default delay is two seconds. | |
| 534 New in version 2.1. | |
| 33 | 535 Obsolete in version 2.3. |
| 7 | 536 |
| 537 setFullName pathname | |
| 538 Set the file name to be used for a buffer to "pathname", a | |
| 539 string argument. | |
| 540 Used when the IDE wants to edit a file under control of the | |
| 541 IDE. This makes the buffer the current buffer, but does not | |
| 542 read the file. "insert" commands will be used next to set the | |
| 543 contents. | |
| 544 | |
| 545 setLocAndSize Not implemented. | |
| 546 | |
| 547 setMark Not implemented. | |
| 548 | |
| 549 setModified modified | |
| 550 When the boolean argument "modified" is "T" mark the buffer as | |
| 551 modified, when it is "F" mark it as unmodified. | |
| 552 | |
| 33 | 553 setModtime time |
| 1620 | 554 Update a buffers modification time after the file has been |
| 555 saved directly by the Vim Controller. | |
| 33 | 556 New in version 2.3. |

| 567 by Vim. | |
| 7 | 568 |
| 569 setVisible visible | |
| 570 When the boolean argument "visible" is "T", goto the buffer. | |
| 571 The "F" argument does nothing. | |
| 572 | |
| 573 showBalloon text | |
| 574 Show a balloon (popup window) at the mouse pointer position, | |

| 602 Opposite of startDocumentListen. | |
| 153 | 603 NOTE: if "netbeansBuffer" was used to mark this buffer as a |
| 604 NetBeans buffer, then the buffer is deleted in Vim. This is | |
| 605 for compatibility with Sun Studio 10. | |
| 7 | 606 |
| 607 unguard off len | |

| 621 seqno = sequence number of the function | |
| 622 bufID = buffer ID of the current buffer (if this is unknown -1 | |
| 623 is used) | |
| 624 lnum = line number of the cursor (first line is one) | |
| 625 col = column number of the cursor (in bytes, zero based) | |
| 626 off = offset of the cursor in the buffer (in bytes) | |
| 627 New in version 2.1. | |
| 628 | |

| 640 The reply is: | |

| 642 123 0 invalid annotation serial number | |
| 643 New in version 2.4. | |
| 644 | |
| 7 | 645 getModified When a buffer is specified: Return zero if the buffer does not |
| 646 have changes, one if it does have changes. | |
| 647 When no buffer is specified (buffer number zero): Return the | |
| 648 number of buffers with changes. When the result is zero it's | |
| 649 safe to tell Vim to exit. | |
| 650 New in version 2.1. | |
| 651 | |
| 652 getText Return the contents of the buffer as a string. | |
| 653 Reply example for a buffer with two lines | |
| 654 123 "first line\nsecond line\n" | |
| 655 NOTE: docs indicate an offset and length argument, but this is | |
| 656 not implemented. | |
| 657 | |
| 658 insert off text | |
| 659 Insert "text" before position "off". "text" is a string | |
| 660 argument, "off" a number. | |
| 1620 | 661 "text" should have a "\n" (newline) at the end of each line. |
| 718 | 662 Or "\r\n" when 'fileformat' is "dos". When using "insert" in |
| 663 an empty buffer Vim will set 'fileformat' accordingly. | |
| 664 When "off" points to the start of a line the text is inserted | |
| 665 above this line. Thus when "off" is zero lines are inserted | |
| 666 before the first line. | |
| 667 When "off" points after the start of a line, possibly on the | |
| 668 NUL at the end of a line, the first line of text is appended | |
| 669 to this line. Further lines come below it. | |

| 687 saveAndExit Perform the equivalent of closing Vim: ":confirm qall". | |
| 688 If there are no changed files or the user does not cancel the | |
| 689 operation Vim exits and no result is sent back. The IDE can | |
| 690 consider closing the connection as a successful result. | |
| 691 If the user cancels the operation the number of modified | |
| 692 buffers that remains is returned and Vim does not exit. | |

| 887 9. Debugging NetBeans protocol *netbeans-debugging* | |
| 888 | |
| 889 To debug the Vim protocol, you must first compile Vim with debugging support | |
| 890 and NetBeans debugging support. See |netbeans-configure| for instructions | |
| 891 about Vim compiling and how to enable debug support. | |
| 892 | |
| 893 When running Vim, set the following environment variables: | |
| 894 | |
| 895 export SPRO_GVIM_DEBUG=netbeans.log | |
| 896 export SPRO_GVIM_DLEVEL=0xffffffff | |
| 897 | |
| 898 Vim will then log all the incoming and outgoing messages of the NetBeans | |
| 899 protocol to the file netbeans.log . | |
| 900 | |
| 901 The content of netbeans.log after a session looks like this: | |
| 902 Tue May 20 17:19:27 2008 | |
| 903 EVT: 0:startupDone=0 | |
| 904 CMD 1: (1) create | |

| 921 10. NetBeans External Editor | |
| 922 | |
| 923 NOTE: This information is obsolete! Only relevant if you are using an old | |
| 924 version of NetBeans. | |
| 925 | |
| 926 | |
| 927 10.1. Downloading NetBeans *netbeans-download* | |
| 928 | |
| 929 The NetBeans IDE is available for download from netbeans.org. You can download | |
| 930 a released version, download sources, or use CVS to download the current | |
| 931 source tree. If you choose to download sources, follow directions from | |
| 932 netbeans.org on building NetBeans. | |
| 933 | |
| 934 Depending on the version of NetBeans you download, you may need to do further | |
| 935 work to get the required External Editor module. This is the module which lets | |
| 936 NetBeans work with gvim (or xemacs :-). See http://externaleditor.netbeans.org | |
| 937 for details on downloading this module if your NetBeans release does not have | |
| 938 it. | |
| 939 | |
| 940 For C, C++, and Fortran support you will also need the cpp module. See | |
| 941 http://cpp.netbeans.org for information regarding this module. | |
| 942 | |
| 943 You can also download Sun ONE Studio from Sun Microsystems, Inc for a 30 day | |
| 944 free trial. See http://www.sun.com for further details. | |
| 945 | |
| 946 | |
| 947 10.2. NetBeans Key Bindings *netbeans-keybindings* | |
| 948 | |
| 949 Vim understands a number of key bindings that execute NetBeans commands. | |
| 950 These are typically all the Function key combinations. To execute a NetBeans | |
| 951 command, the user must press the Pause key followed by a NetBeans key binding. | |
| 952 For example, in order to compile a Java file, the NetBeans key binding is | |
| 953 "F9". So, while in vim, press "Pause F9" to compile a java file. To toggle a | |
| 954 breakpoint at the current line, press "Pause Shift F8". | |
| 955 | |
| 956 The Pause key is Function key 21. If you don't have a working Pause key and | |
| 957 want to use F8 instead, use: > | |
| 958 | |
| 959 :map <F8> <F21> | |
| 960 | |
| 961 The External Editor module dynamically reads the NetBeans key bindings so vim | |
| 962 should always have the latest key bindings, even when NetBeans changes them. | |
| 963 | |
| 964 | |
| 965 10.3. Preparing NetBeans for Vim *netbeans-preparation* | |
| 966 | |
| 967 In order for NetBeans to work with vim, the NetBeans External Editor module | |
| 968 must be loaded and enabled. If you have a Sun ONE Studio Enterprise Edition | |
| 969 then this module should be loaded and enabled. If you have a NetBeans release | |
| 970 you may need to find another way of obtaining this open source module. | |
| 971 | |
| 972 You can check if you have this module by opening the Tools->Options dialog | |
| 973 and drilling down to the "Modules" list (IDE Configuration->System->Modules). | |
| 974 If your Modules list has an entry for "External Editor" you must make sure | |
| 975 it is enabled (the "Enabled" property should have the value "True"). If your | |
| 976 Modules list has no External Editor see the next section on |obtaining-exted|. | |
| 977 | |
| 978 | |
| 979 10.4. Obtaining the External Editor Module *obtaining-exted* | |
| 980 | |
| 981 There are 2 ways of obtaining the External Editor module. The easiest way | |
| 982 is to use the NetBeans Update Center to download and install the module. | |
| 983 Unfortunately, some versions do not have this module in their update | |
| 984 center. If you cannot download via the update center you will need to | |
| 985 download sources and build the module. I will try and get the module | |
| 986 available from the NetBeans Update Center so building will be unnecessary. | |
| 987 Also check http://externaleditor.netbeans.org for other availability options. | |
| 988 | |
| 989 To download the External Editor sources via CVS and build your own module, | |
| 990 see http://externaleditor.netbeans.org and http://www.netbeans.org. | |
| 991 Unfortunately, this is not a trivial procedure. | |
| 992 | |
| 993 | |
| 994 10.5. Setting up NetBeans to run with Vim *netbeans-setup* | |
| 995 | |
| 996 Assuming you have loaded and enabled the NetBeans External Editor module | |
| 997 as described in |netbeans-preparation| all you need to do is verify that | |
| 998 the gvim command line is properly configured for your environment. | |
| 999 | |
| 1000 Open the Tools->Options dialog and open the Editing category. Select the | |
| 1001 External Editor. The right hand pane should contain a Properties tab and | |
| 1002 an Expert tab. In the Properties tab make sure the "Editor Type" is set | |
| 1003 to "Vim". In the Expert tab make sure the "Vim Command" is correct. | |
| 1004 | |
| 1005 You should be careful if you change the "Vim Command". There are command | |
| 1006 line options there which must be there for the connection to be properly | |
| 1007 set up. You can change the command name but that's about it. If your gvim | |
| 11473 | 1008 can be found by your $PATH then the Vim Command can start with "gvim". If |
| 1620 | 1009 you don't want gvim searched from your $PATH then hard code in the full |
| 1010 Unix path name. At this point you should get a gvim for any source file | |
| 1011 you open in NetBeans. | |
| 1012 | |
| 1013 If some files come up in gvim and others (with different file suffixes) come | |
| 1014 up in the default NetBeans editor you should verify the MIME type in the | |
| 1015 Expert tab MIME Type property. NetBeans is MIME oriented and the External | |
| 1016 Editor will only open MIME types specified in this property. | |
| 1017 | |
