[rules-users] Drools Support in IntelliJ

That is upsetting to hear that you need the paid edition of IntelliJ for any Drools support. I can't justify shelling out the money for IDE for a single (albeit very attractive) feature.

The weird thing is that I could really live without any of the code completion or deep rules analysis. My day to day would be a lot nicer just to have the configurable auto-formatting and auto organizing of import statements with keyboard shortcuts. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could look at hacking on the Eclipse plugin?

There is also the issue that it doesn't work we'll with dialects, and gives syntax errors when there are none. This can only be fixed in the future by dropping diaclects and having a single language - it's too hard for tooling otherwise.

The intellij drools plugin is available in intellij ultimate only I think. 
Then you need to do menu File, menu item Other settings, menu item 
Configure plugins to enable it. 

And then when it's enabled, check settings -> File type to see if *.drl 
is assigned to the drools drl editor (and not some custom format you 
created yourself in an older intellij version). 

Works from intellij 12+ IIRC (but 13 is better ;-).
