IntelliJ as a Service

Make IntelliJ as a Java server that does autocompletion for Vim.

This is not an official Google product (i.e. a 20% project).

Installation

1. git clone.
2. Import project into IntelliJ. Use Gradle plugin.
3. Run gradle buildPlugin. It creates build/distributions/ijaas-*.zip at the git root dir.
4. Select "File" menu and click "Settings...". In "Plugins" menu, click "Install plugin from disk..." button. Choose ijaas-*.zip. You can uninstall this plugin from this menu.
5. Restart IntelliJ.
6. Add "vim" directory to your runtimepath in Vim in your own way. (e.g. Plug "$HOME/src/ijaas/vim").

Development

If you want to isolate your development version and the current version, you might need two clones. You can load Vim plugins conditionally by using environment variables.

if !exists('$USE_DEV_IJAAS')
  Plug '$HOME/src/ijaas-dev/vim'
else
  Plug '$HOME/src/ijaas/vim'
endif

You can start another IntelliJ instance by using gradle runIdea. You can pass -Dijaas.port=5801 to make the testing IntelliJ process listen on a different port (see JetBrains/intellij-platform-gradle-plugin#18). Connect to the testing IntelliJ with USE_DEV_IJAAS=1 IJAAS_PORT=5801 vim. The ijaas vim plugin will recognize IJAAS_PORT and use that to connect to the ijaas IntelliJ plugin.
