Re: [xtext-dev] IDEA code base contribution
Hi Eric,

the IDEA development classpath is provided by the xtext-idea-gradle-plugin:


Running gradlew build works for me (I’m using a Mac). Maybe it’s a Windows issue for that plugin?

I just updated the build to use the latest plugin version 1.0.15, please check whether the problem is still there.

Note: some of the test projects have dependencies to internal test projects from the xtext-core and xtext-extras repositories, which are not available as public snapshots. In order to get the build running you need to add the flag -PuseJenkinsSnapshots=true, which configures the snapshot repositories from our build server.

Regards
  Miro

Hi Sven,

I did try to build with gradle from the command-line but it fails (see attachment).

Unless I overlooked something the xtend source files do not get compiled. When I open the workspace in Eclipse, most source file have errors because it cannot find the com.intellij packages. Is there an IDEA pluging SDK I should install at some point?

Eric.

Hi Eric,

contributions of any kind are of course very welcome!
The idea part is built using gradle. So you should be able to build it using with './gradlew build' after checkout.
If you want to use Eclipse I recommend to use the latest builds of the buildship gradle plugin, from

Hi,

A few years ago, the company I work for started using xtext for developing an internal DSL. Development started in Eclipse, hibernated for one year and now resumes in IntelliJ IDEA. We are facing some issues that are blocking us (for ex. https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-idea/issues/10 or https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-idea/issues/26). I understood that there is currently no maintainer for the IDEA code base so I thought I could give it a try and contribute.

So far I managed to install the xtext workspace, but did not manage to build anything.

Are you open for contribution on the IDEA code base?
Can I get some help to setup the correct workflow?

Merry Christmas!
Eric.
