Re: Implement additional Hints for existing Language

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

You can find the code here:
https://github.com/wcm-io/wcm-io-tooling/tree/netbeans-sightly-hints

SightlyLanguage.java: 
https://github.com/wcm-io/wcm-io-tooling/blob/netbeans-sightly-hints/netbeans/sightly/src/main/java/io/wcm/tooling/netbeans/sightly/editor/SightlyLanguage.java
SightylHintsProvider: 
https://github.com/wcm-io/wcm-io-tooling/blob/netbeans-sightly-hints/netbeans/sightly/src/main/java/io/wcm/tooling/netbeans/sightly/editor/hints/SightlyHintsProvider.java

I added some exceptions, so I would expect to see those as soon, as the 
language is called successfully.
