Grammar Kit plugin which only generates that stuff from a BNF grammar.
Nice to hear someone re-using DDT's DTool code for another tool. (it's
called DTool BTW, not plugin_tooling - that's just the directory :P )
From https://github.com/landaire/intelliD:
"Backported to JDK 6 as the module made heavy use of JDK 7 and JDK 6 or
lower is required for IntelliJ plugin development"
WUT?? That is so backwards... I even have a hard time believing that.
(I'm no IntelliJ expert so I don't know for sure what is the case). But
JDK 6 is getting quite old, 7 has been out for some time now, and is
already superseded by 8 (and 9 is being concocted as we speak - the pace
of Java changes has picked up now that Oracle took charge)
Are you really *sure* you can't write IntelliJ plugins with Java code
using JDK 7 and above? IntelliJ is supposed to be Java IDE that is all
fresh and up-to-date! (As opposed to Eclipse, whose code base has
stagnated, I readily admit that, ;'( )
