Subject: [Bsf4oorexx-devel] ooRexx IDE Plugin
Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2017 23:15:29 +0100
From: Alexander Seik <alexander.s...@gmx.at>
To:
Hello,
I have developed an ooRexx plugin for an IDE called IntelliJ IDEA
(available here: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/).
The plugin is available on SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/files/Sandbox/aseik/ooRexxIDEA/beta/1.0.3/
The plugin supports various features so far:
- Syntax checking
- Syntax highlighting
- Code folding
- Running ooRexx files in the IDE
- Commenting/Uncomment multiple lines at once
- Compatibly mode for Mainframe-Rexx characters (#, @, $, ยข). This can
be activated in the menu: File -> Settings -> Languages & Frameworks ->
ooRexx.
The target language level is ooRexx 5.
License: AL 2.0
Prerequisite:
- Java 8: e.g. URL: <http://www.java.com>
- IntelliJ IDEA 2016 Community Edition or Ultimate
- URL: <https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/>
Installing the plugin
- Download ooRexxPlugin4IntelliJ.jar
- In IntelliJ IDEA: File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Install plugin from
disc -> Choose ooRexxPlugin4IntelliJ.jar.
- Restart IntelliJ IDEA.
- Now you can add *.rexx etc. files to the sources directory. These
files will be considered be the plugin.
- Run ooRexx files via the context menu of the file -> Run '...'.
The end of the beta phase is scheduled to the end of April.
I would be glad about any feedback to improve the plugin.
I also added an OoRexxStandaloneExample.zip. There are ooRexx programs
(also Java) that use the parser without IntelliJ IDEA.
Best Regards
Alexander Seik
