Where is JFlex Home in the new Community Edition layout?
I've installed the JFlexSupport plugin and when I try to compile a lexer definition, the plugin complains the JFlex Home is invalid.
The plugin documentation refers to a patched version of JFlex that is normally redistributed in the tools subdirectory of the plugin dev kit.
I'm assuming that the plug dev kit is now essentially the source tree of the community edition, i.e. git://git.jetbrains.org/idea/community.git
I can't find any jflex.jar in the source tree, so I'm wondering how the lexers are created.
I could theoretically download the plain jane JFlex distro and point the JFlexSupport plugin at that, but it seems it defeats the purpose of using the version that has been enhanced for IntelliJ.
Am I doing something wrong?
Cheers,
Ben

Hello Ben,
We've now moved our patched version of JFlex to the Community Edition source.
You can find it under tools/lexer if you update your checkout.

Dmitry,
Thanks for that, I can now see the JFlex patch subtree in the CE main tree, I'll see how I get on with that.
Cheers,
Ben
