adding java support

[jasonjckn]

Hey Mickey,

Thanks for the wonderful library, i'm trying to add java support, starting at the basics here,

for c-navigate-previous and c-navigate-next, i wrote this rule

but i can't seem to move between expression statements

I've read through https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/combobulate-intuitive-structured-navigation-treesitter, although i'll need a second reading, if there's any other docs about the language support lmk.

Also would you accept a donation to add java support yourself, how much?

Thx,
Jason

Hi Jason,

I have been working on documentation for this. Can you read thru the wiki and give me some feedback? You can email me also if you prefer.

Hey @jasonjckn!

Are you still working on this?

I’ve started adding Java support to get a better understanding of how to implement support for a new language, but I don’t want to duplicate work if you’re still active on this.

If there’s anything I can help with—or if it’s okay for me to take over the issue—just let me know!

Hi @mickeynp, just a small note: I noticed that in one place in the wiki, the script name is listed incorrect, it should be build-relationships.py, but it's build-relationship.py in the section The Node Types and Grammar JSON Files. Also, the docs doesn't mention that the requests package need to be installed before downloading the tree-sitter files.

Not a big issue, but thought I’d point it out in case it's helpful!

yah feel free to take it over, thanks for asking!

Awesome, thanks Jason! I’ll take it from here then. Appreciate you getting back to me!

Thanks for catching that. I've fixed the typo. Yes I should rewrite the build file to use urllib; it was never in fact meant to go live, that tool, but it's useful still, so...
