Hi,

I have started work on an intellij plugin for D2. I only started learning D a few weeks ago but feel I will enjoy the experience more in my favourite editor.

I'll be aiming to complete the plugin over the next month.

The code is here: https://github.com/kingsleyh/DLanguage

I know there are a few other people trying to write an intellij plugin - but I'm doing this also as a learning experience so creating the BNF grammar and Flex lexer by hand to better understand the D language rather than re-using the parser/lexer from DDT or another project.

If you are interested in helping out please let me know - or if you are just interested in using it and want to suggest features.

Thanks

--Kingsley

I'm writing a code generator for D to help debug D parsers. You may find it useful for testing your plugin: https://github.com/Hackerpilot/generated. It still occasionally generates invalid code, but I plan on fixing the remaining bugs over the next few days.

You may also find this useful as a reference: https://github.com/Hackerpilot/libdparse

Hey Brian,

Thanks that information looks really useful. I'll let you know if I run into any bugs.

Thanks :) - I've got the DeeLexer and DeeParser from the eclipse DDT projected integrated with intellij now - so now I'm working on implementing intellij features like finding, navigating, refactoring etc
