Support properties in YAML files

[everflux]

YAML files are a great way to reduce duplicate/boilerplate property (prefixes) compared to property files.

I admit I'm not using YAML for configuration a lot, so supporting it is a bit low on my priority list. Much depends on how YAML files are already supported in NetBeans, i.e. If there's already a specialized editor for them. In the latter case I could add configuration properties name and value completion to it. I will leave this issue open for future reference and as a suggestion if someone would like to step in with a pull request, but don't hold your breath.

Thanks for looking into it. Even when supporting is too much effort, you should look into using YAML when developing SB apps. (I was at first reluctant to do so myself, but it feels so much better than plain property files!)

I know you said not to hold your breath, but it's been more than a year now and I was curious if this has gained any more consideration from you?

[AlexFalappa]

Sorry to disappoint you @XaeroDegreaz but YAML support is still not an easy undertaking, and I develop this plugin in my free time.

Higher priorities are enhance the "intelligence" of completion, a boot application dashboard and endpoints support.

Take into account that once completed the "intelligence" could be reused for an hypothetical YAML configuration editor.

Thank you for your response.

Adding my 2cents here. We are using application.yaml and application-local.yaml. Only to let you know that :) so yeah yaml support would be great :)

I just found Netbeans has support for Micronaut configuration yaml code completion.
