Looking for a very simple Custom Language sample plugin

Hello Peter,

I don't think that any such plugin exists. The article used to draw samples
from the JavaScript plugin, but it has grown to be one of the most complicated
ones.

What problems in particular do you face?

Can you please point me to the "Hello World" of Custom Language
plugins.

The Arc plugin is quite complicated, and no longer seems to compile
with the current plugin API.

I am hoping for a companion sample to go with the Custom Language
tutorial

Hi Dmitry,

I like to start simple, so as suggested by the tutorial, I just
implemented a plugin.xml, FileTypeFactory, Language, and a getIcon()
method. I want to understand registering a language first.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I don't get an error, but the icon
doesn't change. The document doesn't offer any guidance, so I was
looking for sample code.

Here's my plugin.xml if that helps. Note that I based this on the Arc
code, but IntelliJ complains about the fileTypeFactory -- "Element
fileTypeFactory not allowed here"

Hello Peter,

You don't need to register your FileTypeFactory as both an extension and
an application component. The former is enough.

This probably doesn't explain why the plugin doesn't work, but that's the
only problem I see here.

Please make sure that your file type appears in Settings | File Types and
has correct extensions associated with it.
