It would be really helpful if there are any Intellij users out there who don't already use our plugin to install it via the plugin repo and try it out (there are 2 D plugins, make sure to install the correct one). We now have error reporting built in to the plugin so that if anything breaks it's easy to inform the team about the problem.

If anyone with Java/Kotlin experience wants to get involved with helping squash bugs then we welcome pull requests so please feel free to browse the issues on our github repository and get involved.

hi singingbush

i normally use emacs but i wanted to contribute to the community effort and see how the plugin is.

i downloaded IDEA CE 2017.2 and i have imported an existing D project. when i want to run the project it lets me choose if i want to use DUB or DMD (that's great) and then i choose DUB and then it warns me about project not having SDK settings. i then went on and set the DMD/bin path as the SDK folder.

i also set the DUB path initially but after running, it told me to configure it again. maybe it did not save in the first place.

all in all, it was a pleasure. thank you for your efforts :)

No formatting through shortcuts (even with dfmt), no interface/class/struct selection choice, buggy/wrong automatic class creation, no autoimport, annoying inspections, zero code-style options and no automatic dscanner, dfmt, dcd creation. I appreciate your efforts but why should I take the manual effort to do all this if the IDE does almost nothing more than a configurated Text-Editor? It takes way too much effort to establish the IDE, compared to Java/C#/PHP/C++ were I just have to install it and can start programming.
