ExtScript Idea Users Guide

Introduction

Intellij is very specific because it allows mixed programming out of the box, hence it is the ideal partner for mixing it with Ext-Scripting. However while setting everything up you have to be aware of several specifics.

• Ext-Scripting does its own incremental compile cycle depending on the sources changed
• Deployment and Redeployment is not needed as long as Ext-Scripting itself can pick up the changes

Setting up Idea

• sure that your project compiles properly and can be properly deployed from Idea. Turn off any auto deployment mechanisms which might trigger unnecessary restarts
• If you use scripting languages make sure to have the proper plugin installed for the scripting language of your choice
