--------------------------------------
Why add support for a dead unmaintained editor?
> TextMate editor support bundle for JEXL
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: JEXL-467
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-467
> Project: Commons JEXL
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.7.0
> Reporter: Henri Biestro
> Assignee: Henri Biestro
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.7.1
>
>
> WHAT:
> Add an editor support bundle (tools/JEXL.tmbundle) providing syntax
> highlighting and file-type recognition for .jexl files in TextMate-compatible
> editors (IntelliJ IDEA, VS Code, TextMate).
> WHY:
> Without it, editors treat .jexl files as plain text. Developers writing or
> debugging JEXL scripts get no highlighting, bracket matching, or comment
> toggling, which slows reading and authoring of expressions. As JEXL script
> files (loaded and executed via Engine.java) become more common in user
> projects, first-class editor support becomes a reasonable expectation.
> HOW:
> Ship tools/JEXL.tmbundle/ containing:
> * Syntaxes/JEXL.tmLanguage — TextMate grammar covering keywords, operators,
> literals, comments, template strings, pragmas, and namespaced calls
> (source.jexl scope).
> * info.plist — bundle metadata for TextMate/IntelliJ registration.
> * package.json — VS Code extension manifest wiring .jexl to the grammar.
> * language-configuration.json — VS Code bracket matching, auto-close pairs,
> and // / /* */ comment toggling.
> No runtime or build changes; the bundle is documentation/tooling only.
