Description
### Description
A big hello to the NetBeans team 👋!
I would like to kindly ask you to publish this extension to the Open VSX marketplace.
## Context
Unfortunately, as Microsoft prohibits usages of the Microsoft marketplace by any other products or redistribution of `.vsix` files from it, in order to use VS Code extensions in non-Microsoft products, we kindly ask that you take ownership of the VS Code extension namespace in [OpenVSX](https://open-vsx.org/) and publish this extension on Open VSX.
## What is OpenVSX? Why does it exist?
OpenVSX is a vendor neutral alternative to the MS marketplace used by most other derivatives of VS Code like [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com/), [Gitpod](gitpod.io), [OpenVSCode](https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server), [Theia](https://theia-ide.org/) based IDEs, and others.
## How can you publish to Open VSX?
Me and the team made [a doc](https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions/blob/master/docs/direct_publish_setup.md) describing the whole process. If you already have a pipeline in place for publishing to the Microsoft Marketplace, you can simply have another step after `vsce publish` which would call `npx ovsx publish` (it works in almost the same way).
I found that the build step is defined here, but couldn't find a publishing step.
