Description Samaresh Panda 2008-12-05 16:30:23 UTC

Currently XML Syntax support uses editor's syntax support, which is deprecated. It is recommended that we migrate to
lexer sooner rather than later.

Comment 2 tk_fhd_aui 2009-01-07 12:50:55 UTC

Where is the difference between issue 154788 (Migrate XML Syntax support to use Lexer) and issue 122438 (XML lexer
migration). Aren't they duplicates?

Comment 3 Samaresh Panda 2009-01-20 05:57:02 UTC

issue 122438 is an umbrella issue for lexer migration. See dependency in there.

Second integration: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/306300cb308b. More coming...

It is nice to see that there is a Lexer based inplementation of XMLSyntaxSupport in org.netbeans.modules.xml.text.dom package.

Currently I'm writing code completion plug-in for XWork Validation files and I wanted to use this implementation in my code. Unfortunately the package is module private.
  
* I wonder if new XMLSyntaxSupport is stable?
* In the case it is: could you make org.netbeans.modules.xml.text.dom package public so one can use it when developing plugins?
