Making a NetBeans Plugin For TeaVM/Flavour Elements

(This describes the development process for adding a new feature to the NetBeans plugin for TeaVM.)

Identifying Relevant APIs

When adding a feature to a NetBeans plugin, the first step is finding the right API. This can be a challenge since there are 1 million of them (OK, slight exaggeration).

I'm starting with the source code for Angular support. (formerly looking at ~~source code for JSPs.~~)

Roadblocks

The current development version is having problems following the Angular plugin pattern. I'm seeing:

Class Not Found, or
'friend' errors during build time
