Hi everyone, I'm considering to start an open source project for building an IntelliJ based Progress Development Studio. Why? Before Progress I worked with a couple of languages like Python, .NET and Java (These days Kotlin b.t.w.) using IntelliJ based IDE's and MS Visual Studio. From that point of view moving to Progress feels like moving to the Dark Ages. Working with Progress in Eclipse feels like going back to the Stone age. For those of you that have worked with the IntelliJ platform or Visual Studio know what I'm talking about. Before I start development I have some questions: What would be the minimum requirements for an IntelliJ based IDE to be able to work with it instead of Eclipse? Of course I would like to implement everything in there the first time, but that's simply not doable. I think a good step to start would be a list of requirements following MoSCoW. Is there any demand in the Progress community for an IDE based on IntelliJ? Are there other developers that would like to contribute to this project? Are there any licensing issues I should take into account? Would Progress even allow me to create a new IDE? Do you have some other things that need to be taken into consideration before starting this project? I do realize this will be a huge amount of work to create a new IDE for Progress Development, but I'm sure that it will pay off on the long run.
