OpenAPI Documentation

You have to download that seperately. It is the -dev.zip file.

eg: idea2178-dev.zip

I beg to differ. that file DOES NOT contain doc/*

It contains help, lib, and plugins. Theres an openapihelp.jar for sure.
But no easy way to open it up without uncompressing it first.

And I was also pointing out the documentation was wrong.

Yep documentation has never been the strong side of IDEA.
Sorry for missing yor point.

Hello Mark,

Looking in the docs I find the section on the OpenAPI that reads as
follows:

"Documentation about IDEA's Open API can be found in the doc/openapi
folder of the IDEA installation."

However, for the past 10 or so builds there has been NOTHING in the
doc directory at all.

Theres now some .jar files including all the javadocs in the ./help
directory but no docs.

Well, documentation is light because you're using EAP builds -- the documentation is still being written.... however, more information about available APIs (for writing plugins, as I'm guessing that's what you want to do) can be found at:

Otherwise, be patient my friends ... documentation is coming....

I downloaded the 4.5 release of IDEA, but there is no OpenAPI docs (no /doc directory)

How "Open" is this API, really?

I couldn't find any useful info on the API here.
