Switch "canonical" IDE for Orc projects to IntelliJ IDEA #221

Open jthywiss opened 5 years ago

jthywiss commented 5 years ago

The Scala Eclipse IDE/plug-in is officially dead. The Scala IDE of choice appears to be IntelliJ IDEA, which is a reasonable choice.

Along with the switch to SBT #200, we should switch to IntelliJ IDEA as the "canonical" IDE for developing the Orc implementation. (Not to exclude other IDEs, though.)

(This issue does not address the OrcEclipse plug-in.)

One major advantage of SBT is that there doesn't need to be a primary IDE since the IDE files are not committed and instead generated from the SBT build config. I think we should strongly prefer this approach since it avoids a lot of IDE config issues as well. And it's how most Scala projects do it.

"correct" :)

arthurp commented 5 years ago

Yes but this issue becomes a no-op once we switch to SBT. So I'm not sure what it's for.

  1. Set up generation of said IDE files from sbt.
  2. Update our Quick Start to Developing the Orc Language Toolset page.
