Thanks for the info Maik,=20

Sorry to hear about the troubles but thank you for trying to find a =
solution, one way or the other.=20

I=E2=80=99ve never used IntelliJ but word on the street is that it=E2=80=99=
s better=E2=80=A6 but previously not better for us because there was no =
plug-in for WO development.=20

If IntelliJ becomes the new way to WO I bet most of us wouldn=E2=80=99t =
mind buying a license to use it.=20

But this is difficult no matter how you slice it. In theory it=E2=80=99s =
probably easier to continue to patch the plugin for Eclipse though we =
have nobody to champion the cause. Maybe there are more people happier =
with IntelliJ but they probably aren=E2=80=99t familiar with WO, and =
don=E2=80=99t have a project to start with.=20

It=E2=80=99s a pickle.=20

and use the funds towards that?
