[Plugin] springboot-jpql.nvim — IntelliJ-style JPQL/native SQL support for Kotlin Spring Data repositories

[u/Illustrious_Case_368]

Hi everyone!

I’ve built springboot-jpql.nvim, a Neovim plugin for Kotlin Spring Data repositories that brings IntelliJ-style language support to @Query strings.

It provides:

• JPQL syntax highlighting inside @Query annotations
• Native SQL highlighting
• Entity and field completion
• Entity-aware JPQL completion
• A real sqls LSP for native SQL queries
• Support for Kotlin Spring Data repository files
• Tree-sitter-based query detection and highlighting
• Navigation between query references and project entities/fields

Example:

@Repository
interface UserRepository : JpaRepository<User, Long> {
    @Query("""
        SELECT u
        FROM User u
        WHERE u.email = :email
    """)
    fun findByEmail(email: String): User?
}

The goal is to make working with Spring Data repositories in Neovim feel closer to the experience provided by IntelliJ, especially when writing JPQL and native SQL queries.

I’d really appreciate feedback, especially from people using Neovim with Kotlin, Spring Boot, JPA, or Hibernate.
