Focus on NetBeans >= 9.0

[Chris2011]

If the plugin is not dead It would be good, if the plugin will focus on NetBeans >= 9.0. It is the minimal version under Apache in the incubator state. NetBeans 11.1 will be the first one outside of the incubator state. And 11.0 has still the textmate lexer which could make it more easy to add the syntax highlighting to it.

@Chris2011 What are you using as an alternative atm?

[Chris2011]

What is the problem for you @traumatic did you try it with your latest NetBeans version?

[traumatic]

That is correct, 12.2

[Chris2011]

What is correct? It should still work in latest NetBeans. If not please be more specific, what the problem is.

Sorry @Chris2011 for the late reply. I am sure that it is just a layer 8 problem.
But I did clone and compile the code and deployed the generated nbm into Netbeans 12.2
I can see the Palette and Code Highlights. Code completion is as well working.
But the Navigator stays blank and most importantly I cannot jump to step implementations.

Ok so first there is no alternative for cucumber for NetBeans. Atm I don't use it, because it doesn't work properly. We need to fix the open issues on this plugin to make it work in general, not only for the latest version. On the readme, it is written that you can navigate via hints, I don't know whether it is working now or not. The biggest problem was a scanning all the time. Navigator I think is also not working, but just guessing, I dunno. So if you have time and trying to fix some bugs, I think this will help a lot. Also see my comment for changing the syntax highlighting impl: #52

Thanks @Chris2011. Navigating via hints does not work for me. I certainly will give it a shot when I have some time.
