Severity:	High

Description

« Hide

For example, looking at src_devkit.zip

the sources are not in the correct folder structure (somehow half-way flattened out)
the plugin.xml is missing
no .iml / .ipr available

The last two bullets seem to the case for all IDEA core plugins.

It would be great if these src_xxx.zip files of the IDEA core plugins would be as complete as the example plugins that are contained within the idea4444-dev.zip file. This would allow anyone to extract the zip file, add the .iml to an IDEA project, and be ready to play around with the implementation of these plugins.

Dima, is this still relevant?

It is.

I'm still convinced that resolving this issue would make it easier for new plugin developers to get started if they could run the plugins shipped with source code 'out-of-the-box'. Very convenient and might lower the initial barrier of playing around with existing plugin sources.
