Intellij d plugin

[Jeremy Powers via Digitalmars-d-ide]

Sounds great!

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to return to my work on an intellij
plugin, good to see you moving forward.  Hope you don't mind, added a link
to your project from my old'n'busted one:

On writing a new parser:
Have you explored using libdparse/DCD instead?  Probably has more overhead
than writing a java parser, but a lot less work.
