I guess I am hoping there is one more scenario where we put the right files and data in a FlexJS release that IntelliJ thinks it is a Flex SDK without it actually being a Flex SDK. I don’t know what a Facet is or what goes in a Randori-lik plug-in, but I don’t think it was necessary for me to do things like that to get the current FlexJS package to work with Flash Builder.
It seems like you can add the current FlexJS package to IntelliJ and it thinks it is a Flex SDK. The next questions for them are: 1) what does it take for IJ to recognize the FlexJS classes if there are no Flex SDK classes in the package 2) How does IJ call the compiler 3) How does IJ call the debugger. -Alex On 5/15/15, 10:52 AM, "Frédéric THOMAS" <webdoubl...@hotmail.com> wrote: >Well, it seems the in last 2 answers (Mike and myself), there is a >contradiction, actually there is not, there are only few scenarios for >IntelliJ IMO > >- We don't do anything particular and we use FlexJS as a lib on top of >the Flex SDK an we have a not user friendly setup as we've seen recently. > >- We overlay ourself the FlexJS SDK on top of the FlexSDK, we deliver it >like that and make think IJ that's a flex SDK (that was a bit my previous >answer), in this case, we could have I guess most of the IDE goodies >working, not ideal at all but better. > >- We create a Facet for the Flex SDK and this facet does the job of >overlaying the FlexSDK with FlexJS an plug the FlexJS compilation >workfow, etc.. into the IDE, create some wizards, etc..., that still >means the user will create a Flex Project before applying the facet though > >- We create a Facet for the FlexMojo in the same way Jangaroo does for >its maven plugin and this facet take care of the FlexJS compilation >workfow into >the IDE, create some wizards, etc..., that still means the user will >create a Maven Project before applying the facet though > >- We don't base anything on the FlexSDK, we need a plugin like Randori. > >Frédéric THOMAS > >> Date: Fri, 15 May 2015 12:53:46 -0400 >> Subject: Re: [FlexJS] IntelliJ Integration >> From: teotigraphix...@gmail.com >> To: dev@flex.apache.org >> >> @Alex >> >> https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-116986 >> >> Been there, done that. >> >> > BTW, I would hope that better integration with IntelliJ doesn’t >>require a >> whole Randori-like plug in. >> >> Considering how much time Fred etal put into that "project", I doubt >>there >> is enough time to get even close to what we had. >> >> It's not a question of if you should, it's something that speeds up >> development.
