Guess file extension if not set in string literal

[victor-homyakov]

In RequireJS filenames are specified without extension .js, e.g.

define([
    'path/module' // actual filename is path/module.js
], function(module) {
    // code...
});

Is it possible to add missing extension in this case, i.e. navigate to module.js when Ctrl-clicking on string 'path/module'?

Nice idea! I can treat a string literal like a filename without extension. The only problem I see is too many files with same name but different extension in your project.

AFAIK that's the only case when extension is omitted, at least I cannot remember similar cases for other languages. Therefore I think that '.js' would be preferred extension, especially if current file is JavaScript.

In case when information about language is unavailable, plugin may use list of preferred extensions.

I can give another example - resolving views in Spring MVC. That happens in my projects, and IDEA Spring support plugin fails to discover my ViewResolver and would not jump to templates by name.

I think, the best way is to start searching using source file extension, if it is not found - search files with any extension.

Yep, that would be great.

Now it finds and shows variants in the following order: exact name + extension match, name + source tile type match, name without extension match. Also made it is case insensetive. Uploaded 1.6 to repo, check it out and comment if it works for you.
