In addition the plugin does not seem to integrate into the environment 
in any meaningful way: it's just feels like a custom Swing blob embedded 
into another program, and having its own fonts, text styles, keyboard 
shortcuts etc.

If you want to provide semantic integration, start here:
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/plugins/developing_custom_language_plugins.html

So there's plenty of doc, but you're not using any of the provided 
interfaces :)

There are multiple custom language implementations available, most with 
full source.

Not to whine, I love both IDEA and AntlrWorks, but the current 
"integration" never made sense to me..
