Hi all,
Unfortunately, I was told, that probably even if I did find the fix, it would
probably not be accepted by Jetbrains.
The reason was that if IntelliJ had a FlexJS SDK type they would sort of have
to claim FlexJS compatibility for IntelliJ and they probably don’t want to do
that. Don’t ask me why. There doesn’t seem to be an option of “not officially
supported” SDKs.
I think we will need different compiler settings in order to compile a FlexJS
application, therefore I don’t see any good in hacking the FlexSdkType2 class
to somehow deal with FlexJS’s specialities (Especially as we need to parse a
separate descriptor now).
The other alternative would be to create a separate plugin. But that would be
an insane amount of work, just in order to make a commercial product more
interesting for others. Not going to be doing that. And looking at the
complexity of how IntelliJ internally works, I doubt that anything I would come
up with would be similarly performant.
Now I’ve been debugging IntelliJ for full 3 days … I’ve even started dreaming
about debugging async processors and lambda expressions, processors, indices,
contexts, … long story short: I’m giving up for now :-(
Seems there are multiple understandings of “open-source” … just showing the
source, but not accepting any changes isn’t how I understand it.
