Description _ gtzabari 2008-02-08 17:55:28 UTC 
Netbeans should support highlight matching brackets for Generics <> brackets the same way it currently highlights
matching block braces {}.
Comment 1 Vitezslav Stejskal 2008-02-11 09:02:16 UTC 
Umm, should not be hard to do. The problem will be with <> chars that are part of conditions (eg. in 'if' statement),
because the braces matcher does not have semantic information.
Comment 2 Jan Lahoda 2008-02-11 09:05:10 UTC 
IIRC, we already have an enhancement for this. Unfortunately, I think it is quite hard to do - parse trees are not
available during bracket matching.
