Freemarker syntax highlighting in NetBeans
Installing Freemarker support for NetBeans was quite complicated when I did it for the first time. Unfortunately the official Freemarker’s website pointed me to a wrong plugin.
To have Freemarker syntax highlighter correctly configured, you should first install a plugin called “Lexer to NetBeans Bridge”. You can find it here: Lexer to NetBeans Bridges.
Then you install plugin named “Freemarker NetBeans Plugin” available here: Plugin
Make sure you have these files downloaded.
Install both of the plugins using menu Tools > Plugins
Now it looks just fine.
After the installation process ends make sure you don’t have other Freemarker plugins installed. They can cause some problems, so in my case I had to make a quick cleanup after installing those plugins.
