Hi,
as an IntelliJ IDEA user I'm only using IDEA and XQuery plugin to write
the XQuery scripts, then execute them in BaseX gui while navigating the
same directory. I'm using the plugin that is mentioned in the wiki page
for syntax highlighting etc. We are using BaseX processor as a web
service so on my local environment I only use the BaseX gui. Most of the
time you need BaseX gui anyway, in order to run some quick Xpath
expressions or retrieve parts of data from an XML file, so I don't
bother setting up a server / client mode. I also have to change the
inspections when setting up the plugin, because of a bug currently
present that uses 100% cpu when inspecting unused variables in large
XQuery files.
One thing that would be interesting, is to have debugging support in
BaseX. I think recently Grzegorz added debugging support for Saxon.

Hi all,
I'm hoping to get some feedback (and potential collaborators) on a
wiki page I created[1] that attempts to help a user get started with
IDEA, XQuery, and BaseX.
However!, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about my limited experience with
workflows, tooling, and IDEA set up, and so I'm hoping that those of
you on this list who use BaseX and IDEA might be willing to pass along
feedback about the linked documentation.
Particularly, how are you interacting with BaseX both as a processor
and as client/server? How are you starting and stopping your server?
What pieces of IDEA are you leveraging to make working with XQuery and
BaseX a(n even) better experience?
Thank you in advance for your time and trouble.
Best,
Bridger
