Purpose

The purpose of this feature is to introduce plugin highlighting support for Ballerina Swan Lake versions. Related to https://github.com/ballerina-platform/plugin-intellij/issues/44

Goals

This will add highlighting for keywords and literals in the language and also various identifiers such as function names,class names, type names, enum names and annotations.

Approach

Create a lexer and a light weight parser using JFlex and Grammar Kit plugin in the intelliJ Platform. Keywords and literals are highlighted in the lexer level and identifyer types are recognized by the parser. IntelliJ based color schemes are applied to those token kinds.
