Hi Paul Thanks for the hint with the directory. I will go ahead and implement it and send it to you afterwards.
For now this is only a publishing plugin meaning it only puts code onto the server and not the other way around. IntelliJ has a way to compare and merge files but I am not quite sure if I have the time to do that. But maybe in the future if enough people are using it. For right now IntelliJ has the content meaning as a Velocity, Groovy or Text file and so IntelliJ does the syntax highlighting. I did not add any such thing for the XWiki syntax. For now the goal of the plugin is to enable Velocity or Groovy developers to use the power of the IDE and push it to the server quickly. I did assume that this is done against a local server and when the application is finished and ready to be deployed that a XAR file is created for this. Later multi user development could be added. Gimme a few days and I will sent it your way.
