There is always a trade off between a complete and smooth integration
into IntelliJ and retaining as much work as possible: using the
custom language would require much work that has been already spent
in ANTLRWorks itself. But I would love to integrate ANTLRWorks more
into IntelliJ.... if anybody knows how to interact with IntelliJ,
please let me know.
Regards,
Jean
