Have to admit that I don’t even really know DITA ... as far as I know it’s just 
an XML format to describe an API.

The maven plugin seems to be lost and I couldn’t even find what it should be 
doing. Don’t know if it generates HTML from DITA, DITA from Java or whatever. 
But I read it’s a thin wrapper over Ant and that would be a problem, because 
Ant support was removed recently from Maven. And I guess it would be 
problematic to have the thing generate our stuff ... after all we need to 
distinguish between elements that are available in both, just swf and just JS 
... I doubt any existing tool will be able to do that.

Regarding IntelliJ ... I know that in the Maven world IntelliJ provides the 
content assist by automatically downloading the „sources“ and the „javadoc“ 
artifacts for an artifact it is using. I know that „javadoc“ is a silly name 
for something containing ASdoc stuff, but it’s just the way IntelliJ and I 
think Netbeans used to work (It being a standard in the Maven world, I would 
expect all IDEs supporting Maven to support this). The javadoc jars simply 
contain the well-known HTML files.

    The playerglobal.swc and spark.swc I just looked at doesn't have DITA
    files in it.  IIRC, code-assist for playerglobal and MX and Spark swcs are
    special-cased in Flash Builder, so I'm not surprised you have to do
    something to make it work in IntelliJ.  I've seen indications that FDT and
    FB can handle DITA.  Don't know about any other IDEs.  But AFAICT, DITA in
    SWC was only leveraged by third-party SWCs.
    
    Interestingly, on my way to trying to find out if IntelliJ handles DITA, I
    found that DITA is a sort of standard [1].  And there is a maven plugin as
    well [2].  Chris are you leveraging the plugin?
    
    Of course, there is no guarantee that Adobe was using correct DITA format
    from MXMLC.
