No, no bad blood.  But the implementation is being done by the same
group that does Forte for Java.  We needed xemacs and vi integration
for our commercial product on SPARC Solaris, so that, naturally, was
our focus.  The gvim changes are available, if you want to port it
to Windows.  That platform has just not been a priority in this group
to date, sorry.

The externaleditor module itself is, of course, platform independent.
It should work as-is with a ported NB-aware gvim or xemacs.

I'll keep this issue open as a reminder that the port needs to be done,
but no promises when or if my group will do it.

The gvim modifications will be contributed to the gvim source base.
Perhaps someone else will have an interest in porting the NetBeans
changes to Windows.

I would love to schedule this for the next release
but I haven't the manpower (or windows expertise)
in my group. I'll at least assign it to George and
we will track it. Perhaps we can get to it in a
later release.

There is a VI plugin for Netbeans:
