[Jiri Prajzner]

Any chance NetBeans folks will catch up on this? :)

Regards, Jiri

Hi,

You got me I fact I don't only plan I've written one already
yesterday - see

writing-an-editor-for-a-language-you-dont-know/
(http://tomsondev.bestsolution.at/2012/11/08/javafx-shader-language-jsl-or-writing-an-editor-for-a-language-you-dont-know/)
!

It's a very dumb one yet but it could be improved, although I have to
say this is very low priority in the complete e(fx)clipse project.

decora-compiler. We have our own DSL for shader languages called Decora. 
What we do is generate shaders for OpenGL and D3D from this language. We 
also generate Java code and SSE native code. For some shaders, we ended up 
generating them and then hand-tweaking them from there.

is even being used anymore, so there is stuff here we could remove to reduce
the size of the project (and I will be filing a JIRA for this).

at one time we had entertained the idea of popularizing it so that people 
could write their own shaders with JSL (the decora shader language), in 
which case the compiler would be part of the JDK such that you could create 
your own effects. Decora is predominantly used for the "effects" -- blur, 
box blur, etc. Although it is also used for prism shaders, we don't generate
SSE or Java backends for those, and many of these have been tweaked by hand 
vs. simply generated.
