Cascading IDEA Plugin

The Cascading IDEA Plugin is an add-on for the IntelliJ IDE.

Installing

As a work in progress (wip) release, this plugin is currently available by adding a custom plugin repository to the IntelliJ IDEA project settings.

To add the plugin repository, see these instructions:

• http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/managing-enterprise-plugin-repositories.html

With this repository URL:

http://files.concurrentinc.com/cascading-idea-plugin/updatePlugins.xml    

Alternately, the latest plugin can be downloaded and installed manually by calling:

> wget -i http://files.concurrentinc.com/cascading-idea-plugin/1.0/latest.txt

Once the plugin is final, it will be added to the main JetBrains repository. The above repository will always point to wip builds.

Features

The current release is rather simplistic. It will detect if the Driven plugin is in the current project classpath, if so, then enable a 'View in Driven' button.

Driven is a free services for monitoring and diagnosing issues with Cascading applications.

To learn more about enabling Driven, visit:

• http://docs.cascading.io/driven/1.0/getting-started/

To Do

Features we would like to see by the 1.0 release:

• Ability to run a Cascading app on a remote cluster from the IDE
• Automatically add the latest Driven plugin to a Run/Debug configuration classpath
• Allow for users to set an api-key in a Run/Debug configuration
• Add any useful "intentions" or other IDE enhancements

Building

To build using Gradle, check out the code and from the download directory do:

git submodule update --init gradle jar

To run/debug in Intellij, first create an IntelliJ project:

gradle idea

Open the .ipr file in IntelliJ.

A new SDK should be created in the 'Project Structure' pop up. See this page. for details.
