Development

1. Set up plugin development environment

Follow helful guide from Jetbrains

2. Git clone this repo.

3. Generate lexer file using provided JFlex (provided in repo root):

$ java -jar JFlex.jar --skel idea-flex.skeleton --charat src/com/christofferklang/pyxl/parsing/Pyxl.flex

4. Add Python plugin dependency

First install the Python plugin in IntelliJ (Settings > Plugins). Then locate python.jar in your home directory. The exact location will vary depending on OS and IntelliJ version. For Idea 2016.2 on Linux for example, the file can be found in $HOME/.IntelliJIdea2016.2/config/plugins/python/lib. On OSX it would be in ``$HOME/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIdea2016.2/python/lib. You'll probably figure it out by running find . -name 'python.jar' | grep python/lib` in your home directory.

Once located, you need to add the jar file as a dependency to the project.File > Project Structure... > Modules > pycharm-pyxl > Dependencies(Click the green + to add a new dependency)> JARs or directories` (locate python.jar).

Make sure the Python JAR is above <Module source>, and that the scope is set to "Provided".

5. Open this project in IDEA

Then right-click on pycharm-pyxl project and choose "Prepare plugin module for development"at the bottom of context menu. This will generate new jar in the project root which you can add to your PyCharm.
