I absolutely support Michael's opinion. I had to adjust my build setup and run extra preparatory Ant scripts to fit the web application layout required by Ariadna. It's even more difficult when several projects share some parts of the web aplication. My EJB directory layout is also different - it causes duplicate branches in Project view.
JavaScript, SQL, CSS, shell script, etc. support is better now with the possibility to define custom file types, language keywords and comments. It would be enormous work for JetBrains to implement refactoring support and code completion or at least have SOME built-in knowledge for any other language than Java/JSP/XML. Officially it already supports editing of Java, JSP, XML, HTML, plus IDL as custom type. -- Edmundas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael Descher Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 12:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: [Eap-features] IDEA WebApp development support of another kind? Well, I think one much more important issue than support for stuff like javascript, html, etc. is much better setup for web applications in IDEA for the currently supported features. I think only a few developers (if any) will have a directory layout the way IDEA needs it at the moment, i.e. the complete web application structure with JSPs, classes, libs, WEB-INF contents (e.g. configurations, deployment descriptors) in the same directory layout as the deployed web application. Usually you separate these in different directories like "etc" for configs, "web" for pages, html, javascript, etc, "src" for sources, maybe "lib" for 3rd party jars, etc. Maybe your pages, html, javascript, whatever stuff is distributed into multiple directories as well. I think this is one of the main issues with the current web application support. In my very personaly opinion other features like html, javascript, whatever addition support are nice to have but the above is crucial.
