Thanks for the info Maik,

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

I’ve never used IntelliJ but word on the street is that it’s better… but previously not better for us because there was no plug-in for WO development.

If IntelliJ becomes the new way to WO I bet most of us wouldn’t mind buying a license to use it.

But this is difficult no matter how you slice it. In theory it’s 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’t familiar with WO, and don’t have a project to start with.

It’s a pickle.

Maybe we should abandon that idea and look at creating a plugin for IntelliJ instead or something, and use the funds towards that?

This time I’m expecting a few conditions to be met beyond the obvious relevant experience and expertise, in particular that the person actually has enough time available, and doesn’t have to depend on weekends for that.
