JFlex Support on Mac OSX 10.4

Hello Patrick,

In order to compile the plugin, you need to add idea.jar to the classpath
of the IDEA JDK you have configured.

I'm using OSX 10.4.11 and IDEA 7.0.3 and I have the actual PlugIn Dev
Kit.

I downloaded the JFlex Support in the first place via the IDEA PlugIn
interface and then tried version 1.2.0 from the download page.

In both cases I got the following error message:

Bad version number in .class file ..

It seems to be the same that was reported earlier but I can post the
whole error output I desired. I'm not sure how to solve the problem
as compiling the source by myself doesnt work too. It seems the parts
of the openapi changed

Can someone help me out of that?

Another question is: Where am I supposed to find the information that
plugins under OSX are installed in the folder

/Users/MyName/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIDEA70

It took me a while to find out.

Cheers
Patrick

Thank you for your advice.
It works now.

For other OSX 10.4 user: I had to copy the jflex.png to /fileTypes/jflex.png at the root of the created jar file. Then copy the jar to
/Users/patrick/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIDEA70

Cheers

Patrick, I'm experiencing the same issue, using the 1.3.0 release of the JFlex Support plugin.  Can you share the jflex.jar you built?

I rebuild it for IDEA 8.1 myself.  The jar is attached.  Unfortunately there is a bug on Mac OS X 10.5 when opening the settings panel.

Well I gave up on the plugin and tried running JFlex and the Lexer it generates doesn't implement all the methods on FlexLexer.  I'm using the idea-8.1-dev distribution with IDEA 8.1.  What's going on?  Were their updates to JFlex that weren't included in the 8.1-dev distribution to support the new abstract methods of FlexLexer?

UPDATE: Found the cause was that I didn't specify the idea-flex.skeleton on my command-line (--skel).
