How to make Vala available in my NetBeans IDE for autocomplete or What else can be used for Vala to have autocompletes?

I just ran this code, and it looks like nice language for me.

But when i was trying in NetBeans IDE i do not see any Vala nor i see any autocomplete availability.

Any idea how to make NetBeans IDE to allow Vala? (to get auto-complete specially)

e.g:

using Gtk;

int main (string[] args) 
{
    Gtk.init (ref args);

    var window = new Window ();
    window.title = "First GTK+ Program";
    window.border_width = 10;
    window.window_position = WindowPosition.CENTER;
    window.set_default_size (350, 70);
    window.destroy.connect (Gtk.main_quit);

    var button = new Button.with_label ("Click me!");
    button.clicked.connect (() => {
        button.label = "Thank you";
    });

    window.add (button);
    window.show_all ();

    Gtk.main ();
    return 0;
}

I have tried from here: https://github.com/carbonfx/netbeans-valaproject/downloads But does not work.

NetBeans IDE i could not make it someone can update it later!

I installed Anjuta IDE using yum -y install anjuta, and simply Vala works enter image description here

Solution

  • You could use the Anjuta IDE, or turn Gedit into a Vala IDE using Valencia.
