That's why I asked for example code:
the above code is very Java-like(regarding the syntax). Set Java as
filetype and you are done.
You can add custom filetype extensions in
~/.geany/filetype_extensions.conf. Details can be found in the manual.

This is just a XML dialect.

So, we don't need new filetypes for both, it's already there.

Writing a plugin to call a compiler should be fairly easy. But a plugin
for this should be the last resort. Before, there are two better and
easier ways:
a) modify filetypes.java and filetypes.xml and adjust the
[build_settings] sections.
You can add/modify the settings compiler, linker and run.
b) write a Makefile to compile/run the different files and use Geany's
Make commands (Build file menu).

Both should work and are probably more easy than writing a plugin.

Enrico
