|
|
26 1. Introduction *netbeans-intro*
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 NetBeans is an open source Integrated Development Environment developed
|
|
|
29 jointly by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and the netbeans.org developer community.
|
|
|
30 Initially just a Java IDE, NetBeans has had C, C++, and Fortran support added
|
|
|
31 in recent releases.
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 For more information visit the main NetBeans web site http://www.netbeans.org
|
|
|
34 or the NetBeans External Editor site at http://externaleditor.netbeans.org.
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 Sun Microsystems, Inc. also ships NetBeans under the name Sun ONE Studio.
|
|
|
37 Visit http://www.sun.com for more information regarding the Sun ONE Studio
|
|
|
38 product line.
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
40 Current releases of NetBeans provide full support for Java and limited support
|
|
236
|
41 for C, C++, and Fortran. Current releases of Sun ONE Studio provide full
|
|
7
|
42 support for Java, C, C++, and Fortran.
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
44 The interface to NetBeans is also supported by Agide, the A-A-P GUI IDE.
|
|
|
45 Agide is very different from NetBeans:
|
|
|
46 - Based on Python instead of Java, much smaller footprint and fast startup.
|
|
|
47 - Agide is a framework in which many different tools can work together.
|
|
|
48 See the A-A-P website for information: http://www.A-A-P.org.

|
|
|
51 2. NetBeans Key Bindings *netbeans-keybindings*
|
|
|
52
|
|
236
|
53 Vim understands a number of key bindings that execute NetBeans commands.
|
|
|
54 These are typically all the Function key combinations. To execute a NetBeans
|
|
|
55 command, the user must press the Pause key followed by a NetBeans key binding.
|
|
|
56 For example, in order to compile a Java file, the NetBeans key binding is
|
|
|
57 "F9". So, while in vim, press "Pause F9" to compile a java file. To toggle a
|
|
|
58 breakpoint at the current line, press "Pause Shift F8".
|
|
7
|
59
|
|
|
60 The Pause key is Function key 21. If you don't have a working Pause key and
|
|
|
61 want to use F8 instead, use: >
|
|
|
62
|
|
|
63 :map <F8> <F21>
|
|
|
64
|
|
|
65 The External Editor module dynamically reads the NetBeans key bindings so vim
|
|
|
66 should always have the latest key bindings, even when NetBeans changes them.
|
|
|
67
|
|
|
68 ==============================================================================
|
|
|
69 3. Configuring Vim for NetBeans *netbeans-configure*
|
|
|
70
|
|
|
71 For more help installing vim, please read |usr_90.txt| in the Vim User Manual.
|
|
|
72
|
|
|
73
|
|
|
74 On Unix
|
|
|
75
|
|
|
76 When running configure without arguments the NetBeans interface should be
|
|
|
77 included. That is, if the configure check to find out if your system supports
|
|
|
78 the required features succeeds.
|
|
|
79
|
|
|
80 In case you do not want the NetBeans interface you can disable it by
|
|
|
81 uncommenting a line with "--disable-netbeans" in the Makefile.
|
|
|
82
|
|
|
83 Currently, only gvim is supported in this integration as NetBeans does not
|
|
236
|
84 have means to supply a terminal emulator for the vim command. Furthermore,
|
|
7
|
85 there is only GUI support for GTK, GNOME, and Motif.
|
|
|
86
|
|
236
|
87 If Motif support is required the user must supply XPM libraries. See
|
|
7
|
88 |workshop-xpm| for details on obtaining the latest version of XPM.
|
|
|
89
|
|
|
90
|
|
|
91 On MS-Windows
|
|
|
92
|
|
|
93 The Win32 support is now in beta stage.
|
|
|
94
|
|
|
95 To use XPM signs on Win32 (e.g. when using with NetBeans) you can compile
|
|
|
96 XPM by yourself or use precompiled libraries from http://iamphet.nm.ru/misc/
|
|
|
97 (for MS Visual C++) or http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net (for MinGW).
|
|
|
98

|
|
|
100 4. Downloading NetBeans *netbeans-download*
|
|
|
101
|
|
236
|
102 The NetBeans IDE is available for download from netbeans.org. You can download
|
|
7
|
103 a released version, download sources, or use CVS to download the current
|
|
236
|
104 source tree. If you choose to download sources, follow directions from
|
|
7
|
105 netbeans.org on building NetBeans.
|
|
|
106
|
|
|
107 Depending on the version of NetBeans you download, you may need to do further
|
|
236
|
108 work to get the required External Editor module. This is the module which lets
|
|
|
109 NetBeans work with gvim (or xemacs :-). See http://externaleditor.netbeans.org
|
|
7
|
110 for details on downloading this module if your NetBeans release does not have
|
|
|
111 it.
|
|
|
112
|
|
236
|
113 For C, C++, and Fortran support you will also need the cpp module. See
|
|
7
|
114 http://cpp.netbeans.org for information regarding this module.
|
|
|
115
|
|
|
116 You can also download Sun ONE Studio from Sun Microsystems, Inc for a 30 day
|
|
236
|
117 free trial. See http://www.sun.com for further details.
|
|
7
|
118
|
|
|
119 ==============================================================================
|
|
|
120 5. Preparing NetBeans for Vim *netbeans-preparation*
|
|
|
121
|
|
|
122 In order for NetBeans to work with vim, the NetBeans External Editor module
|
|
236
|
123 must be loaded and enabled. If you have a Sun ONE Studio Enterprise Edition
|
|
|
124 then this module should be loaded and enabled. If you have a NetBeans release
|
|
7
|
125 you may need to find another way of obtaining this open source module.
|
|
|
126
|
|
|
127 You can check if you have this module by opening the Tools->Options dialog
|
|
|
128 and drilling down to the "Modules" list (IDE Configuration->System->Modules).
|
|
|
129 If your Modules list has an entry for "External Editor" you must make sure
|
|
236
|
130 it is enabled (the "Enabled" property should have the value "True"). If your
|
|
7
|
131 Modules list has no External Editor see the next section on |obtaining-exted|.
|
|
|
132
|
|
|
133 ==============================================================================
|
|
|
134 6. Obtaining the External Editor Module *obtaining-exted*
|
|
|
135
|
|
236
|
136 There are 2 ways of obtaining the External Editor module. The easiest way
|
|
7
|
137 is to use the NetBeans Update Center to download and install the module.
|
|
|
138 Unfortunately, some versions do not have this module in their update
|
|
236
|
139 center. If you cannot download via the update center you will need to
|
|
|
140 download sources and build the module. I will try and get the module
|
|
7
|
141 available from the NetBeans Update Center so building will be unnecessary.
|
|
|
142 Also check http://externaleditor.netbeans.org for other availability options.
|
|
|
143
|
|
|
144 To download the External Editor sources via CVS and build your own module,
|
|
|
145 see http://externaleditor.netbeans.org and http://www.netbeans.org.
|
|
|
146 Unfortunately, this is not a trivial procedure.
|
|
|
147
|
|
|
148 ==============================================================================
|
|
|
149 7. Setting up NetBeans to run with Vim *netbeans-setup*
|
|
|
150
|
|
|
151 Assuming you have loaded and enabled the NetBeans External Editor module
|
|
|
152 as described in |netbeans-preparation| all you need to do is verify that
|
|
|
153 the gvim command line is properly configured for your environment.
|
|
|
154
|
|
236
|
155 Open the Tools->Options dialog and open the Editing category. Select the
|
|
|
156 External Editor. The right hand pane should contain a Properties tab and
|
|
|
157 an Expert tab. In the Properties tab make sure the "Editor Type" is set
|
|
|
158 to "Vim". In the Expert tab make sure the "Vim Command" is correct.
|
|
7
|
159
|
|
236
|
160 You should be careful if you change the "Vim Command". There are command
|
|
7
|
161 line options there which must be there for the connection to be properly
|
|
236
|
162 set up. You can change the command name but that's about it. If your gvim
|
|
|
163 can be found by your $PATH then the VIM Command can start with "gvim". If
|
|
7
|
164 you don't want gvim searched from your $PATH then hard code in the full
|
|
236
|
165 Unix path name. At this point you should get a gvim for any source file
|
|
7
|
166 you open in NetBeans.
|
|
|
167
|
|
|
168 If some files come up in gvim and others (with different file suffixes) come
|
|
|
169 up in the default NetBeans editor you should verify the MIME type in the
|
|
236
|
170 Expert tab MIME Type property. NetBeans is MIME oriented and the External
|
|
7
|
171 Editor will only open MIME types specified in this property.
|
|
|
172
|
|
|
173 ==============================================================================
|
|
|
174 8. Messages *netbeans-messages*
|
|
|
175
|
|
|
176 These messages are specific for NetBeans:
|
|
|
177
|
|
|
178 *E463*
|
|
|
179 Region is guarded, cannot modify
|
|
|
180 NetBeans defines guarded areas in the text, which you cannot
|
|
|
181 change.
|
|
659
|
182 Also sets the current buffer, if necessary.
|
|
7
|
183
|
|
|
184 *E656*
|
|
9
|
185 NetBeans disallows writes of unmodified buffers
|
|
7
|
186 NetBeans does not support writes of unmodified buffers that
|
|
|
187 were opened from NetBeans.
|
|
|
188
|
|
|
189 *E657*
|
|
|
190 Partial writes disallowed for NetBeans buffers
|
|
|
191 NetBeans does not support partial writes for buffers that were
|
|
|
192 opened from NetBeans.
|
|
|
193
|
|
|
194 *E658*
|
|
|
195 NetBeans connection lost for this buffer
|
|
|
196 NetBeans has become confused about the state of this file.
|
|
788
|
197 Rather than risk data corruption, NetBeans has severed the
|
|
236
|
198 connection for this file. Vim will take over responsibility
|
|
7
|
199 for saving changes to this file and NetBeans will no longer
|
|
|
200 know of these changes.
|
|
|
201
|
|
146
|
202 *E744*
|
|
|
203 NetBeans does not allow changes in read-only files
|
|
|
204 Vim normally allows changes to a read-only file and only
|
|
|
205 enforces the read-only rule if you try to write the file.
|
|
|
206 However, NetBeans does not let you make changes to a file
|
|
|
207 which is read-only and becomes confused if vim does this.
|
|
|
208 So vim does not allow modifications to files when run with
|
|
|
209 NetBeans.
|
|
7
|
210 ==============================================================================
|
|
|
211 9. Running Vim from NetBeans *netbeans-run*
|
|
|
212
|
|
|
213 NetBeans starts Vim with the |-nb| argument. Three forms can be used, that
|
|
|
214 differ in the way the information for the connection is specified:
|
|
|
215
|
|
|
216 -nb={fname} from a file
|
|
|
217 -nb:{hostname}:{addr}:{password} directly
|
|
|
218 -nb from a file or environment
|
|
|
219
|
|
|
220 *E660* *E668*
|
|
|
221 For security reasons, the best method is to write the information in a file
|
|
|
222 readable only by the user. The name of the file can be passed with the
|
|
|
223 "-nb={fname}" argument or, when "-nb" is used without a parameter, the
|
|
|
224 environment variable "__NETBEANS_CONINFO". The file must contain these three
|
|
|
225 lines, in any order:
|
|
|
226
|
|
|
227 host={hostname}
|
|
|
228 port={addr}
|
|
|
229 auth={password}
|
|
|
230
|
|
|
231 Other lines are ignored. The caller of Vim is responsible for deleting the
|
|
|
232 file afterwards.
|
|
|
233
|
|
|
234 {hostname} is the name of the machine where NetBeans is running. When omitted
|
|
|
235 the environment variable "__NETBEANS_HOST" is used or the default "localhost".
|
|
|
236
|
|
|
237 {addr} is the port number for NetBeans. When omitted the environment variable
|
|
|
238 "__NETBEANS_SOCKET" is used or the default 3219.
|
|
|
239
|
|
|
240 {password} is the password for connecting to NetBeans. When omitted the
|
|
|
241 environment variable "__NETBEANS_VIM_PASSWORD" is used or "changeme".
|
|
|
242
|
|
|
243 ==============================================================================
|
|
|
244 10. NetBeans protocol *netbeans-protocol*
|
|
|
245
|
|
|
246 The communication between NetBeans and Vim uses plain text messages. This
|
|
|
247 protocol was first designed to work with the external editor module of
|
|
|
248 NetBeans (see http://externaleditor.netbeans.org). Later it was extended to
|
|
|
249 work with Agide (A-A-P GUI IDE, see http://www.a-a-p.org). The extensions are
|
|
|
250 marked with "version 2.1".
|
|
|
251
|
|
236
|
252 Version 2.2 of the protocol has several minor changes which should only affect
|
|
|
253 NetBeans users (ie, not Agide users). However, a bug was fixed which could
|
|
|
254 cause confusion. The netbeans_saved() function sent a "save" protocol
|
|
|
255 command. In protocol version 2.1 and earlier this was incorrectly interpreted
|
|
|
256 as a notification that a write had taken place. In reality, it told NetBeans
|
|
|
257 to save the file so multiple writes were being done. This caused various
|
|
|
258 problems and has been fixed in 2.2. To decrease the likelihood of this
|
|
7
|
259 confusion happening again, netbeans_saved() has been renamed to
|
|
|
260 netbeans_save_buffer().
|
|
|
261
|
|
718
|
262 We are now at version 2.3. For the differences between 2.2 and 2.3 search for
|
|
|
263 "2.3" below.
|
|
|
264
|
|
7
|
265 The messages are currently sent over a socket. Since the messages are in
|
|
|
266 plain UTF-8 text this protocol could also be used with any other communication
|
|
|
267 mechanism.
|
|
|
268
|
|
718
|
269 To see an example implementation look at the gvim tool in Agide. Currently
|
|
|
270 found here:
|
|
|

287
|
|
|
288 10.1 Kinds of messages *nb-messages*
|
|
|
289
|
|
|
290 There are four kinds of messages:
|
|
|
291
|
|
|
292 kind direction comment ~
|
|
|
293 Command IDE -> editor no reply necessary
|
|
|
294 Function IDE -> editor editor must send back a reply
|
|
|
295 Reply editor -> IDE only in response to a Function
|
|
|
296 Event editor -> IDE no reply necessary
|
|
|
297
|
|
|
298 The messages are sent as a single line with a terminating newline character.
|
|
|
299 Arguments are separated by a single space. The first item of the message
|
|
|
300 depends on the kind of message:
|
|
|
301
|
|
|
302 kind first item example ~
|
|
|
303 Command bufID:name!seqno 11:showBalloon!123 "text"
|
|
|
304 Function bufID:name/seqno 11:getLength/123
|
|
|
305 Reply seqno 123 5000
|
|
|
306 Event bufID:name=123 11:keyCommand=123 "S-F2"
|
|
|
307
|
|
|
308
|
|
|
309 10.2 Terms *nb-terms*
|
|
|
310
|
|
|
311 bufID Buffer number. A message may be either for a specific buffer
|
|
|
312 or generic. Generic messages use a bufID of zero. NOTE: this
|
|
|
313 buffer ID is assigned by the IDE, it is not Vim's buffer
|
|
|
314 number. The bufID must be a sequentially rising number,
|
|
|
315 starting at one.
|
|
|
316
|
|
|
317 seqno The IDE uses a sequence number for Commands and Functions. A
|
|
|
318 Reply must use the sequence number of the Function that it is
|
|
|
319 associated with. A zero sequence number can be used for
|
|
|
320 Events (the seqno of the last received Command or Function can
|
|
|
321 also be used).
|
|

322
|
|
|
323 string Argument in double quotes. Text is in UTF-8 encoding. This
|
|
|
324 means ASCII is passed as-is. Special characters are
|
|
|
325 represented with a backslash:
|
|
|
326 \" double quote
|
|
|
327 \n newline
|
|
|
328 \r carriage-return
|
|
|
329 \t tab (optional, also works literally)
|
|
|
330 \\ backslash
|
|
|
331 NUL bytes are not allowed!
|
|
|
332
|
|
|
333 boolean Argument with two possible values:
|
|
|
334 T true
|
|
|
335 F false
|
|
|
336
|
|
|
337 number Argument with a decimal number.
|
|
|
338
|
|
|
339 optnum Argument with either a decimal number or "none" (without the
|
|
|
340 quotes).
|
|
|
341
|
|
|
342 offset A number argument that indicates a byte position in a buffer.
|
|
|
343 The first byte has offset zero. Line breaks are counted for
|
|
|
344 how they appear in the file (CR/LF counts for two bytes).
|
|
|
345 Note that a multi-byte character is counted for the number of
|
|
|
346 bytes it takes.
|
|
|
347
|
|
|
348 lnum/col Argument with a line number and column number position. The
|
|
|
349 line number starts with one, the column is the byte position,
|
|
|
350 starting with zero. Note that a multi-byte character counts
|
|
|
351 for several columns.
|
|
|
352
|
|
|
353 pathname String argument: file name with full path.

372 off number offset where annotation is to be placed
|
|
|
373 len number not used
|

378
|
|
|
379 close Close the buffer. This leaves us without current buffer, very
|
|
|
380 dangerous to use!
|
|
|
381
|
|
|
382 create Creates a buffer without a name. Replaces the current buffer
|
|
|
383 (it's hidden when it was changed).
|
|
|
384 NetBeans uses this as the first command for a file that is
|
|
|
385 being opened. The sequence of commands could be:
|
|
|
386 create
|
|
|
387 setCaretListener (ignored)
|
|
|
388 setModified (no effect)
|
|
|
389 setContentType (ignored)

392 setFullName
|
|
|
393
|
|
|
394 defineAnnoType typeNum typeName tooltip glyphFile fg bg
|
|
|
395 Define a type of annotation for this buffer.
|
|
|
396 Arguments:
|
|
|
397 typeNum number sequence number (not really used)
|
|
|
398 typeName string name that identifies this annotation
|
|
|
399 tooltip string not used
|
|
|
400 glyphFile string name of icon file
|
|
|
401 fg optnum foreground color for line highlighting
|
|
|
402 bg optnum background color for line highlighting
|
|
|
403 Vim will define a sign for the annotation.
|
|
|
404 When both "fg" and "bg" are "none" no line highlighting is
|
|
|
405 used (new in version 2.1).
|
|
|
406 When "glyphFile" is empty, no text sign is used (new in
|
|
|
407 version 2.1).
|
|
|
408 When "glyphFile" is one or two characters long, a text sign is
|
|
|
409 defined (new in version 2.1).
|
|
|
410 Note: the annotations will be defined in sequence, and the
|
|
|
411 sequence number is later used with addAnno.
|
|
|
412
|
|
|
413 editFile pathname
|
|
|
414 Set the name for the buffer and edit the file "pathname", a
|
|
|
415 string argument.
|
|
|
416 Normal way for the IDE to tell the editor to edit a file. If
|
|
|
417 the IDE is going to pass the file text to the editor use these
|
|
|
418 commands instead:
|
|
|
419 setFullName
|
|
|
420 insert

|
|
421 initDone

425 Not implemented.
|
|
|
426
|
|
|
427 endAtomic End an atomic operation. The changes between "startAtomic"
|
|
|
428 and "endAtomic" can be undone as one operation. But it's not
|
|
|
429 implemented yet. Redraw when necessary.
|
|
|
430
|
|
|
431 guard off len
|
|
|
432 Mark an area in the buffer as guarded. This means it cannot
|
|
|
433 be edited. "off" and "len" are numbers and specify the text
|
|
|
434 to be guarded.
|
|
|
435
|
|
|
436 initDone Mark the buffer as ready for use. Implicitly makes the buffer
|
|
|
437 the current buffer. Fires the BufReadPost autocommand event.
|
|
|
438
|
|
33
|
439 insertDone
|
|
|
440 Sent by NetBeans to tell vim an initial file insert is done.
|
|
236
|
441 This triggers a read message being printed. Prior to version
|
|
33
|
442 2.3, no read messages were displayed after opening a file.

453 putBufferNumber pathname
|
|
|
454 Associate a buffer number with the Vim buffer by the name
|
|
|
455 "pathname", a string argument. To be used when the editor
|
|
|
456 reported editing another file to the IDE and the IDE needs to
|
|
|
457 tell the editor what buffer number it will use for this file.
|
|
|
458 Also marks the buffer as initialized.
|
|
|
459 New in version 2.1.

463
|
|
|
464 removeAnno serNum
|
|
|
465 Remove a previously place annotation for this buffer.
|
|
|
466 "serNum" is the same number used in addAnno.
|
|
|
467
|
|
|
468 save Save the buffer when it was modified. The other side of the
|
|
|
469 interface is expected to write the buffer and invoke
|
|
|
470 "setModified" to reset the "changed" flag of the buffer.
|
|
|
471 The writing is skipped when one of these conditions is true:
|
|
|
472 - 'write' is not set
|
|
|
473 - the buffer is read-only
|
|
|
474 - the buffer does not have a file name
|
|
|
475 - 'buftype' disallows writing
|
|
|
476 New in version 2.2.
|
|
|
477
|
|
33
|
478 saveDone
|
|
236
|
479 Sent by NetBeans to tell vim a save is done. This triggers
|
|
|
480 a save message being printed. Prior to version 2.3, no save
|
|
33
|
481 messages were displayed after a save.
|
|

|
486 setBufferNumber pathname
|
|
|
487 Associate a buffer number with Vim buffer by the name
|
|
|
488 "pathname". To be used when the editor reported editing
|
|
|
489 another file to the IDE and the IDE needs to tell the editor
|
|
|
490 what buffer number it will use for this file.
|
|
|
491 Has the side effect of making the buffer the current buffer.
|
|
|
492 See "putBufferNumber" for a more useful command.

498 specified position. If the buffer is open in another window
|
|
|
499 than make that window the current window.
|
|
|
500 If there are folds they are opened to make the cursor line
|
|
|
501 visible.
|
|
7
|
502 In version 2.1 "lnum/col" can be used instead of "off".
|
|
|
503
|
|
|
504 setExitDelay seconds
|
|
|
505 Set the delay for exiting to "seconds", a number.
|
|
|
506 This delay is used to give the IDE a chance to handle things
|
|
|
507 before really exiting. The default delay is two seconds.
|
|
|
508 New in version 2.1.
|
|

511 setFullName pathname
|
|
|
512 Set the file name to be used for a buffer to "pathname", a
|
|
|
513 string argument.
|
|
|
514 Used when the IDE wants to edit a file under control of the
|
|
|
515 IDE. This makes the buffer the current buffer, but does not
|
|
|
516 read the file. "insert" commands will be used next to set the
|
|
|
517 contents.

594 bufID = buffer ID of the current buffer (if this is unknown -1
|
|
|
595 is used)
|
|

596 lnum = line number of the cursor (first line is one)
|
|

608 getModified When a buffer is specified: Return zero if the buffer does not
|
|
|
609 have changes, one if it does have changes.
|
|
|
610 When no buffer is specified (buffer number zero): Return the
|
|
|
611 number of buffers with changes. When the result is zero it's
|
|
|
612 safe to tell Vim to exit.

616 Reply example for a buffer with two lines
|
|
|
617 123 "first line\nsecond line\n"
|
|
|
618 NOTE: docs indicate an offset and length argument, but this is
|
|
|
619 not implemented.
|
|
|
620
|
|
|
621 insert off text
|
|
|
622 Insert "text" before position "off". "text" is a string
|
|
|
623 argument, "off" a number.
|
|
718
|
624 "off" should have a "\n" (newline) at the end of each line.
|
|
|
625 Or "\r\n" when 'fileformat' is "dos". When using "insert" in
|
|
|
626 an empty buffer Vim will set 'fileformat' accordingly.
|
|
|
627 When "off" points to the start of a line the text is inserted
|
|
|
628 above this line. Thus when "off" is zero lines are inserted
|
|
|
629 before the first line.
|
|
|
630 When "off" points after the start of a line, possibly on the
|
|
|
631 NUL at the end of a line, the first line of text is appended
|
|
|
632 to this line. Further lines come below it.

651 If there are no changed files or the user does not cancel the

652 operation Vim exits and no result is sent back. The IDE can
|
|
|
653 consider closing the connection as a successful result.
