Freemarker plugin does not work for square bracket (since JBT 4.2.0.Final) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-18752 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18752 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: freemarker Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Final Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen Labels: respin-a Fix For: 4.2.3.Final From https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-freemarker/issues/26 {quote} When using the plugin to edit freemarker files that use the square bracket syntax the editor fails to highlight the syntax (this is happening in JBoss Tools 4.20 Final). I think the file: src / org / jboss / ide / eclipse / freemarker / editor / DocumentProvider.java on line 70 is causing the syntax highlighting problem: {code}if (ch != LexicalConstants.SQUARE_SYNTAX_MARKER.charAt(i)) { return SyntaxMode.ANGLE; } SQUARE_SYNTAX_MARKER.charAt(i) {code} It should start in 0 and have a different index than i (the index of the file content) to have a proper string matching. Also, SQUARE_SYNTAX_MARKER is [#ftl, not all files start with a ftl tag, so I don't see the need for "ftl" at the end, so that's why in the following example fix I put j < 2. e.g. {code} int j =0; for (; i < docLength && j < 2; i++) { char ch = document.getChar(i); if (ch != LexicalConstants.SQUARE_SYNTAX_MARKER.charAt(j)) { return SyntaxMode.ANGLE; } j++; } {code} {quote}
