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.

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.

Michael
