NetConsole plugin for IntelliJ IDEA

[ThomasClark]

I'm now sure how many people here use IntelliJ IDEA, but I'm working on some tools to make it possible to use for FRC. I thought I'd share them here in case anyone finds them useful.

So far I have a NetConsole plugin, similar to the Riolog view in Eclipse this year. If you're not familiar with what this does, it shows any printlns, errors, stack traces, etc from the robot. For example, this:



You can download the plugin here, and install it by going to File > Settings > Plugins, choosing "Install plugin from disk...", and selecting the jar. Let me know if you try it out, or if there are any problems with it. The source is on GitHub here.

Thanks! I was about to roll my own when I found yours. FYI, the link to your released plugin is broken (404). I was able to build it from source. But others not familiar with how to build a plug-in might struggle a bit. (For others, instructions are located here in the "Deploying a plugin" section.)

Thanks again.
