For example, I want to find the source code of IEnumerable, but it is not in
https://github.com/mono/mono/tree/master/mcs/class/System/System.Collections.Generic
So where is it?
I went to the GitHub repository and pressed T to activate the file finder and then typed in IEnumerable and one of the search results was:
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/class/corlib/System.Collections.Generic/IEnumerable.cs
#MattWard already pointed out the key.
I just want to inform you that not all System.* classes are in System.dll, even for Microsoft .NET. If you go to MSDN you can see clearly that IEnumerable is defined in mscorlib.dll, which maps to "corlib" in Mono.
This tip applies to other classes as well.

I have a custom XML format that links to Java resources. For the sake of simplicity let's assume my XML file would look like this:
<root>
<java-class>my.fully.qualified.class.name</java-class>
</root>
Eventually my references will be somewhat more complicated. It will not contain the fully qualified class name directly and I will need some logic to resolve the correct class, but I want to keep the example as simple as possible here.
Now I want it to be possible to Strg+Click on the element's text and want IntelliJ to carry me to the .java file, just like it is possible in Spring-XML files. In the IDEA Plugin Development FAQ there is a link called "How do I add custom references to Java elements in XML files?" which so much sounds like exactly what I need. Unfortunately it links to a discussion where someone is more or less done implementing something like this, having some minor problems. Nevertheless I understood that I probably need to write an implementation of the interface com.intellij.psi.PsiReference. Googling for "PsiReference" and "IntelliJ" or "IDEA" unfortunately did not bring up any tutorials on how to use it, but I found the class XmlValueReference which sounds useful. Yet again googling for "XmlValueReference" did not turn up anything useful on how to use the class. At least the PSI Cookbook tells me that I can find the Java class by using JavaPsiFacade.findClass(). I'd be thankful for any tutorials, hints and the like, that tell the correct usage.
The above linked discussion mentions that I need to call registry.registerReferenceProvider(XmlTag.class, provider) in order to register my provider once I eventually managed to implement it, but of which type is "registry" and where do I get it from?
First of all, here's a nice tutorial that came up a few days ago, which explains the basics of IntelliJ plugin development (you should take a look at the section Reference Contributor).
You will likely have to define your own PsiReferenceContributor, which will be referenced in your plugin.xml like this:
<psi.referenceContributor implementation="com.yourplugin.YourReferenceContributor"/>
In your reference contributor, there's a method registerReferenceProviders(PsiReferenceRegistrar) where you will be able to call registry.registerReferenceProvider(XmlTag.class, provider).
Finally, in your instance of PsiReferenceProvider, you will have to test the tag name to filter out tags which don't contain class references, then find the right Java class using JavaPsiFacade.findClass().
From my experience, the best place to get help regarding IntelliJ plugin development is JetBrains' forums.
I am trying to use the generic DbSet class. I have tried adding the following references so far to my solution because the MSDN documentation states that DbSet lives inside System.Data.Entity:
However, as shown below I still cannot add a reference to System.Data.Entity, the only suggestion intellisense has is EntityClient which does not contain DbSet:
Resharper/Intellisense is not giving me any other suggestions of namespaces I could possibly add.
I have tried cleaning and rebuilding my solution, and I am using the .Net Framework 4 full version (not the client version).
I have tried using NuGet to search for EntityFramework and have found one result which I have added to no avail as is show below:
What DLL file do I need to add to my solution to add a reference to System.Data.Entity and use the DbSet class?
Thanks
The same MSDN reference page that you mention says that you need to reference EntityFramework.dll in your project.
Note that namespaces and assemblies are not the same thing. The following statement is a little over-simplified, but you can think of namespaces as residing inside (or becoming available by referencing) an assembly.
So, once you've referenced the assembly, you will still need the using System.Data.Entity; directive.
I want to find all the child plug-ins of a feature ? I know the name of the feature, but IWorkspaceRoot.getProject(String) does not really help me. I get an IProject that I don't know how to convert to a feature object (IFeature ?). Maybe I am on the wrong track and there is a better / easier way to do this. Any ideas ?
You could check that a selected IProject is a feature project by checking for the nature called org.eclipse.pde.FeatureNature.
Then you could try to use IProject.getAdapter(IFeature.class) call, the cast the result to IFeature. I did not try this with feature projects, but works well with Java projects.
The correct answer is the use of PDECore static class. This class provides a FeatureModelManager, that would provide the corresponding information:
FeatureModelManager manager = PDECore.getDefault().getFeatureModelManager();
How to obtain this information? I looked with the plug-in spy to find which project defines the 'Deployable Features' export wizard (use Alt+Shift+F3 when the wizard is selected), and then looked at the implementation of the wizard class, where the addPages() method contains the previously described code block.
When using VS, the preferred way to store user- and application settings seems to be to access VS "settings" tab for the given assembly and simply type the settings you need.
Monodevelop does not have this feature (or at least I did not find it...)
What is the preferred way to do this under mono using monodevelop?
If the answer is "well, do the same - but hand-type the code needed" I'd love some pointers to a nice tutorial.
On the mono list, John Ludlow had the answer I needed:
...First, the ConfigurationManager (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.configurationmanager.aspx ) will expose two section handlers by default...
If you want more complex configuration option then you can define your own
handlers by inheriting from ConfigurationSection and ConfigurationElement.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.configurationsection.aspx
and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.configurationelement.aspx.
You may also need to provide a class inheriting from ConfigurationElementCollection
as well, if you want to be able to configure a collection of values.
Thanks to John and the people of the mono-list.
You still can use .settings files to keep settings, just edit them by-hand.
Also you can use App.config / another .config files
By default all I get in intellisense are the functions and its signature. I would prefer if I could also get documentation with the intellisense. I realise that I am supposed to place an xml file that contains this documentation along with my dll.
From where can I get this is file? Or is there some other way for me to achieve this?
For the immediate future, there's no way to get the XML documentation short of grabbing the Structuremap source and building it yourself.
As for why that's not included with the distribution, I'm not sure. My only guess is that back when xml-based configuration with SM was more prevalent, Jeremy was concerned about confusion between StructureMap.xml the intellisense file, and StructureMap.xml the configuration file.
That's pure speculation however. For the real scoop you'd have to post on the SM-mailing list. Regardless, for the time being, you have to roll your own from the source. I've done this as well for the same reason, and it wasn't too painful.

Edit - Instructions for doing this follow.
Using your favorite SVN client (if you don't have one, I recommend TortoiseSVN) grab the latest from https://structuremap.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/structuremap/trunk/ . If you want the same bits that are in 2.5.3, I think you'll want revision 234. Otherwise, just grab the head and build from that. (If you aren't familiar with SVN, find a tutorial that explains what I'm talking about)
Open up the StructureMap solution in Visual Studio (under the Source subdirectory). Right click the StructureMap project, Go to Properties > Build and ensure the option for XML output documentation is checked.
Build and enjoy.
