Description Tim Lebedkov 2009-12-22 13:01:36 UTC 
I'm not quite sure whether this is a bug in lexer, but

http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-netbeans-modules-lexer/overview-summary.html

says:

Or it may be provided dynamically through the xml layer by using file named with the token-id's name with ".instance" suffix located in "Editors/language-mime-type/embed" folder. The file should instantiate the language description for the embedded language.

This is how I try to register my language provider (the source for the language provider is attached):

    <folder name="Editors">
        <folder name="text">
            <folder name="x-java">
                <folder name="embed">
                    <file name="BLOCK_COMMENT.instance">
                        <attr name="instanceCreate" newvalue="org.netbeans.modules.gwt4nb.JSNILanguageProvider"/>
                    </file>
                </folder>
            </folder>
        </folder>
    </folder>

But it does not work.

Comment 4 Tim Lebedkov 2010-04-12 19:24:02 UTC 
could somebody please at least confirm that this is a bug? A pointer to the module that is responsible for this would also be nice. I could try to provide a patch that fixes this.
Comment 5 Miloslav Metelka 2012-05-29 08:37:24 UTC 
You're right there was an error. I have fixed the docs and provided an example.
The code that creates these embeddings is in lexer/nbbridge in MimeLookupFolderInfo.
