Hi Franz, I was talking about the FileSystem, so the implementation of the following interfaces: IResource, IProject, IFile, IFolder, IContainer.
The current implementation in IntelliJ of these interfaces is really questionable and really complicated. The main problem in IntelliJ (as likely in Netbeans too) is the missing functionality of the API to create invalid file / folder handles. If I remember correctly this problem was never reported back. It seems that the authors tried to implement such a functionality. Looking at the core code, we do not really need the IProject#getFile and IProject#getFolder methods (which are just returning handles). The only problem is to rewrite the ProjectMapper to use IPath objects instead of IResource objects. So this leads up to 2 solutions: 1. Try to implement something in the FileSystem that the IDE API do NOT support by default 2. Get rid of the required methods (needs changes in the Core) to avoid (possible) complicated solution mentioned in point 1.
