[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ] The IntelliJ RubyMine, TextMate and Aptana RadRails IDE's (NetBeans primary competition for Ruby On Rails development) all support not only the editing of HAML files, but the syntax highlighting, and debugging of HAML files. NetBeans has a rudimentary (initial) HAML plugin created by Tor and announced on October 12, 2007, but it appears that nothing has been done with the plugin since.
I restarted my Ruby on Rails projects, using Ruby 2.3 now. my HAML file is dull. Looks like I'm editing in notepad. Indentation, expand tabs to spaces is a must, at least, as a quick fix, provide the text/haml MIME, so it can be modified on the Editor > Formatting menu. I stopped using XHTML in RoR since I've learned about HAML existance. All my views are in HAML, around 140+ files. Using Eclipse right now as an work around, but I'm not happy!! This is kinda urgent in my opinion.
Haml/Sass 2.2 is out (http://nex-3.com/posts/84-haml-sass-2-2-released) with many syntax changes, especially in Sass, which makes the actual plugin even more unusable.
awesome, now where's the new HAML support in Netbeans? Why is this being overlooked?!
Can we have a official answer about HAML support in Netbeans? Maybe a reference of how to implement this kind of support.
Not sure about "official", but I can say for myself that I'm not currently working on HAML support and don't plan to work on it for 6.9. It's been on my list for a long time and I've started to look at implementing it more than once, but unfortunately other things have always come up (e.g. for 6.9 Rails 3 support). Please see http://wiki.netbeans.org/How_to_create_support_for_a_new_language for a tutorial on implementing support for a new language.
