Add highlighting of getters and setters in Java

[Farley-Chen]

Hi, I think better highlighter is a great plugin in IDEA.

I wonder that is it possible to add a new feature for java property(getter, setter) highlight?

just like this.

I have tried regex highlight but it is slow then other highlighter like keywords.

@Farley-Chen I'll check what I can do with that. Can you share regexp which you are using?

The regex are here, although I'm not sure if they are always right.

for getter: [ .]get([^()]+?)\(\) for setter: [ .]set([^()]+?)\( and I found now 2014version can use group? (I'm still using the 2013version) may be in 2014verion for setter: [ .]set([^()]+?)\(([^()]+?)\)

@Farley-Chen Can you try to use \.set([A-Za-z]+)\(? It is not the same, but I think it should cover all real life cases, and it is 4x times faster.

OK, I will have a try, Thank you!

@Farley-Chen Is new regexp working fast enough? Or you still have an issue and want a separate option for getters/setters highlighting?

The new regexp can work ok. If you have enough time, the separate option for getters/setters is better for me.

Hi, I would like to know how long it will take to implement this feature, as I would like to purchase an annual subscription(to receive a fallback license).

So I want to know if I should purchase directly or wait for the new features to come out before purchasing.

@Farley-Chen My current plan is to release it with release of Intellij 2024.2(approximately july-august). But I'm not 100% sure in that. The main issue right now is how plugin stores settings. Existing approach I implemented with one of the initial plugin releases 5 years ago and it doesn't work well with 2+ settings per token. Switching on another way of settings storing is complicated and requires to also write settings migration stuff.

If you want to speed up implmentation - I can post here intermediate versions, which you would need to install manually, but they would not be super stable, and most probably would require to reenter settings time to time.

P.S. If you don't have any license right now, you can buy it, as I definitely would implement that ticket this year. If your license recently expired, than better to wait till plugin version 2024.2.1.

Just follow your rhythm.

Ok, maybe I will wait till 2024.2.
