New application using SDK
I'm not familiar with the SDK and its capabilities and limitations so just looking for a quick feasibility check...
The git tools provided by intelliJ are fantastic, I have not used anything better. (Open to suggestions! )
Is it possible to use the platform to build a standalone client?
In other words, take intellij and rip out almost everything but the git tools?
Obviously that goes beyond a plugin... I know that the eclipse a framework allows that sort of shenanigans but it's open source.
Does the sdk provide enough in the way of features to achieve this?
Thanks.

Hello James,
yes, it's possible to create your own product on IntelliJ platform and include some features from IntelliJ products into it. Unfortunately it's not very straightforward and we don't have complete documentation about it yet. You can look at the issue about that, it contains links to some tutorials in the comments. Most things described in these tutorials are still actual, only the part about building a product is obsolete (it's simple now, you can look at build scripts javadoc for a start).
