Full Changelog History

Check CONTRIBUTING.md file.

Since the project has been migrated to the Gradle and Gradle IntelliJ plugin, the build process is much simpler. The only thing to build the plugin is to run:

gradle build

All required dependencies like Grammar-Kit, JFlex are downloaded in the background and triggered properly during the build process. You can also test the plugin easily with running:

gradle runIdea

All of the gradle tasks can be connected to the IntelliJ debugger, so the development process is very easy.
