IntelliJ IDEA plugin for Eiffel language support
Still under somewhat-active development (see last commit to see if it's still maintaned)
- Download latest plugin release from releases page
- Download Eiffel GOBO (we currently support only this one)
- (Windows) Download Microsoft Visual Studio C++
- (*nix) Download any C compiler that you like (chances are, you need to write
apt install g++
orbrew install g++
if you don't know what that means)
- Build GOBO using your C compiler (refer to GOBO website for further instructions)
- Install plugin using IDEA standard menu (IDEA -> Preferences -> Plugins -> Install from disk -> Select zip file)
- Create new Eiffel project in IDEA (you won't miss its menu option)
- Press Plus (Add new SDK) and select Eiffel GOBO SDK
- (Windows) Customize the full path to Microsoft VS home
- When creating procedure is done, go Run -> Edit configurations... and add Eiffel GOBO configuration using plus button
- Enjoy! (Windows building may still be sometimes incorrect as a result of lack of Windows testers)
- Kinda-full EBNF syntax (as of 2006 ECMA-367 with some additions) with parser by Grammar-Kit
- Lexer for keywords and symbols
- Syntax highlighting for keywords, literals, builtin types
- Building support through GEC
- Feature name completion with client visibility support (still under testing, but seems to work fine)
- Project-wide and library-wide class name completion
- Integer ranges using
|..|
binary operation. - Across-type boolean iteration in assertion clauses.
Both of the above can be shown on this example
...
ensure
across
1 |..| n
as
it
all
it.item <= n
end
end
- Array literal expressions
Example:
local
a: ARRAY [INTEGER]
do
a := << 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 >>
end
- Project Wizard
- Formatting (kinda done, but still some minor issues)
- Context-aware highlighting
- Analysis
