My work on an Eclipse style Lua IDE has reached a new milestone and I felt it
was ready for another [ann].

If you would like to try it you can use the free version of IntelliJ
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/

You can enable the plugin by going to the File/Settings menu, then on
the Plugins tab locate and install the Lua plugin from the list of
available plugins.

The project homepage is
http://www.bitbucket.org/sylvanaar2/...idea/wiki/Home, there are
a *A LOT* of screenshots and the source code.

This is the last of the v0.8 series. I'm interested in getting as much feedback
as possible as I release 0.9 and am on the home stretch for v1.0 by the end of
the year.

Very happy to see you keep working on this project, gj on the hotfixes as well! :)

Inline doc's never found a thing, completition working. can you help me?

Well did you follow the setup screencast?

http://www.screencast.com/t/78ltrNMsC7

Yes i did, like i said, only the ctrl+q feature arent working. It's show as searching the doc's but never bring anything, but if i press shift+f1 its open the browser and works as it should.

Ok, I'll take a look this weekend and see if I broke it somehow.

Thank you very much!

I made a fix to the SDK integration, you should download an update from:

If you haven't tried out my Lua plugin for wow development, you might want to take a look. There have been a lot of improvements over the years.

Are the colors for syntax highlighting easily modified?

Yes, they are. I have globals set to bright-friggin-red.

This looks really cool, i'm just not familiar with this IDE.
