Well, that's the whole point � complete IDEA integration :-)

I realise that thanks ;-)

I mean running classes direct from the IDEA VM. Much faster and much 
better. Could also allow tools to communicate with IDEA objects.

i.e. just give IDEA a classname in the "external tools" dialog and it 
would run it � as long as it was on the classpath. It could pass an 
IDEAContext object giving the tool a way to communciate with IDEA (like 
get macros, error lists etc.)

Cheers
