Emacs+ for Intellij 2016.2?

[Douglas Alan]

Hi? Does the current version of Emacs+ for Intellij work with the current version of Intellij? I've been holding off on upgrading Intellij for the past couple of months for fear that it doesn't.

Thanks!

Hi Doug,

    

   The approach that worked (relatively) well under Eclipse, does not really apply to IntelliJ.  In general, Emacs+ does not try to reinvent the wheel; it just tries to make the wheel rounder using the existing platform bits.  In Eclipse, those bits were pretty stable from Europa up to the conversion to e4 in Kepler.  The same is not true for IntelliJ.  In its code base, there are major refactorings from release to release, not to mention the periodic updates, name changes to no apparent purpose, signature and method changes with no deprecation, etc.  That's fair - it's open source and open season, but it makes the support of intellemacs problematic. 

 

    It is probably the case that someone would have to bake in the emacs behavior in the IntelliJ source code, but I'm not currently volunteering.  

    I am now thinking that I should remove it, since I never wound up using IntelliJ for real (which is what originally kicked off the development), and it is currently badly broken with the new release.  Outside of a few atta-boys, there hasn't been much interest shown in intellemacs anyway.

   

   Regards,

      Mark

Hi Mark,

I'm sorry to hear that Intellij makes supporting plugins so problematic! I've been happily using Emacs+ for Intellij for the past 6 months or so, and I have been very thankful for it.

Before that, I used Emacs+ for Eclipse for quite a few years. I'm very sure that Emacs+ preserved my sanity and my fingers since I'd be hopeless trying to retrain my fingers after decades of Emacs use.

I switched to IntelliJ because everyone else in my group switched to it, leaving me the sole Eclipse user. After a year or two of that, I figured I should join the Bork Collective.

With all the raving I've heard about IntilliJ, I was expecting it to be a huge improvement over Eclipse. In some ways it is, but in other ways it's significantly worse. Ultimately, I think it's a net wash. The only really big improvement that Intellij has over Eclipse for me, is that when Intellij gets in a confused state about our complex projects, it seems as if getting it to be unconfused is pretty easy. While for Eclipse, it might take me an entire day of fiddling to get it unconfused. That alone is a godsend.

In any case, thanks for the hard work on Emacs+ for both platforms! It has been muchly appreciated by me.

I'll take a look at this, I might be able to take over the IntelliJ plugin.

Oddly, I actually don't use Emacs and wouldn't use the plugin myself. However I develop a plugin for Clojure development, and I have an interest in users having a smooth migration path from Emacs.

Mark, if I remember correctly the source for the IntelliJ version was not available - would you consider donating it?

Cheers,

Colin

One more vote for maintaining Emacs+ for IntelliJ. I have used it in Eclipse as well and found it very useful. (Even made a donation). Our group is using IntelliJ now due and I would love to see Intellemacs continue.

Doug - help please. I installed Emac+ (the plugin) in IntelliJ 2016.2.5. It shows as enabled. BUT - my editor for a java file does not recognize Emas commands.

I have restarted, so that is not the problem. What do I have to do to get it working?

Looks like Emacs+ is completely busted with IntelliJ 2016.3.  Any chance you can open source this project?  I'd be happy to contribute to maintenance.

thanks

I'd be pretty keen to help get it running again if that's an option.

+1. Emacs+ has become an integral part of my workflow, would really like to see it supported.

[Eric Feigenson]

Another +1 here. I'd been looking for an IDE with Emacs key bindings, and it'd be a royal pain to use without them.

EmacsPlus is still working for me in PyCharm 2016.2.3, though I've always gotten periodic exceptions raised from it.

I'm also in if you want people to contribute. I'll do my darnedest to contribute to Emacs+ on Intellij. IDE's are practically unusable for me without even just the basic Emacs key bindings.

[Johnson Cai]

Cant open Intellij IDEA normally after update version to 2017.2.

It really slow down my work for cant use emacs+ keymap...

Can anybody tell me how i should do for using emacs+?

+1 here too... Plugin development isn't my thing, but willing to put some effort into learning it to get a more usable IDE!

[Psycho Punch]

Any updates on this? I'm stuck with an old version of IDEA because the latest won't run Emacs+.

[Chris Mann]

Emacs+ gives me a huge boost to productivity. I'd also be keen to contribute towards the maintenance effort of the project if were open sourced.
