SpEL Syntax Highlighting

[BoykoAlex]

SpEL syntax highlighting via LSP semantic tokens inside:

• Java annotations
• Inside JPQL queries

I took the Antlr SPEL parser that was kept from the past and it doesn't seem to parse all valid SPEL. For example someBean.someProperty != null ? someBean.someProperty : 'default' also i didn't see matches keyword in the parser hence I suspect that this won't parse either: '100' matches '\\d+'.
Definitely won't be completed for 4.23.0

Fixed with 15f20b6 exceptfor embedded inside SQL queries which is be addressed via #1270

@BoykoAlex could you please share a sample screenshot how the syntax highlighting looks like for SpEL? I am not sure if it works for me

Something like the above.

What are you getting @MahatmaFatalError ? Send a screenshot and a snippet please. (Note: no syntax highlighting in Eclipse yet)

ah ok, only VSCode, the release notes https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/releases/tag/4.24.0.RELEASE lead to the impression that it is generally available, i.e. including eclipse

@MahatmaFatalError Totally agree, the release notes should be more precise about this. I added a section in the release notes. The support for Eclipse is tracked here #1235. Thanks again for pointing us at this.
