    Perhaps this links can help you, the interview is a bit old and I've seen no news about it, in the forum, you can see there is some people interested in such a plugin:

    Bear in mind, this doesn't mean that it's sometthing easy to do, but there are many language support plugins already to use as a basis.

    There has been many hot threads on this topic in the Netbeans forum. Nothing for sure yet, but a lot of people has invested a lot of time with it, specially those who build applications based on the Netbeans Platform:

    I don't see it going in the near future, if Oracle drops support for it, the most likely is that a community will form to continue its development. Some people suggested that the core developers could create a company to guide core development and sell premium services.
    Nothing for sure yet...

HTH, cheers,
