Extending the Che Editor to add Syntax Highlighting

[SharkJ]

Hi,

I've tried to Implement a DSL (created using Xtext) to Eclipse Che and succeeded. Now I want to implement syntax highlighting to my DSL when I'm using it in Che.
I did some research and found several helpful issues that are related to what I'm trying to do. However, I still have a hard time finding what exactly should be done. For instance, I found this issue, this code, the Che Doc's Editor:UI page (unavailable, because it is still being developed), and a link by Che that would be helpful if was available (also unavailable, because it is still being improved).

Could anyone please tell me the necessary steps that should be followed to achieve this task? I would be much grateful. Currently, there is no supporting guide at all for this issue, and it is a very urgent task for me.

Thanks in advance!

@tsmaeder can you take a look?

Thanks @skabashnyuk ! To make it more clear, I'm asking about a client-side extension for Che in order to implement syntax highlighting to a DSL. It is possible in VS-Code . I was wondering whether a similar method could be applied to Che (It is possible through the Theia stack, but I'm having a hard time trying to integrate it to Che). Is there a common way used to implement syntax highlighting to languages in Che?

Can anyone kindly help me with this problem?

@SharkJ are we talking about GWT based IDE or Theia?

@skabashnyuk the GWT based IDE.

@skabashnyuk Could you kindly tell me how I could use the code snippet given in #1392 to implement syntax highlighting in the che source code? I tried adding it to the che source and built it, but the keywords were not highlighted as expected. I have mentioned about everything that I've used in #11969 . Thank You!
