Kotlin plugin for NetBeans IDE

The original Netbeans Kotlin plugin is no longer actively developed. See JetBrains#122 for more information.

I tried to install the above on Netbeans 12.2 (running on Java 11) but it exited with a NullpointerException. I tried to build it but had to learn that it needs some dependencies I could not find.

Luckily I found a fork of the above by the Github user mario-s - Thank you!. He has solved the build problem but the NullpointerException remained.

I forked his work again to get it working.

Branches

I removed the a existing branches except master. Further I added

  • fix_nullpointer: Fix the NullpointerException but do not update dependencies.

Build

The build works only on Java 8 due to dependencies to sun.misc.Unsafe. I prefer to

  1. Download a JDK of version 8.x at https://adoptopenjdk.net/ as archive file and unpack it

  2. Set JAVA_HOME to the path of the JDK

    export JAVA_HOME=/the/path/to/the/jdk

  3. Build with /path/to/maven/bin/mvn clean package

  4. I got an error when I run /path/to/maven/bin/mvn clean test
