[antlr-interest] IntelliJ plug-in fails to save file

[Jean Bovet]

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
