The work on the plugin is in progress now. Implemented features are mentioned in the section General Usage Information. There might be some problems and mistakes in the plugin. If you see one, please, do not hesitate to report us.
The plugin is compatible with all IntelliJ based IDEs, but it works better with CLion if you are using CMake as a build tool. If you don't have any IntelliJ ide yet, you can try IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition for free.
You can install a stable version of the plugin from
Jet Brains plugins repository
using Settings > Plugins > Browse repositories
in your IDE.
Fortran plugin is gradle based project. So, it can be build using gradlew assemble

files are handled as fixed form source files
while .f90
, .f95
, .f03
and .f08
files are in free source form.
