Is there a plugin or an easy way to write right to left in IntelliJ Community Edition?
Maybe a hack that developers are using?
I'm writing an Hebrew android application and it's really hard to write the resources files.
Steps to solve this are apparently made for Idea 15, Currently (August 2015) in early access.
See this comment: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEABKL-5810#comment=27-1015891
You need to add the line editor.new.rendering=true to your idea.properties file for it to work.
I just tested it, and it seems to be working pretty well, but it is an early access.
I'm facing the same problem here, I'm trying to write Persian apps in intellij and it's really annoying!
I kind of use a hack to solve the problem. I edit everything in intellij except string.xml file. I edit this file with other editors that have no problems with with rtl languages. It's not the perfect solution but its a lot better!
I use bracket IDE. It is a very simple IDE for developing web apps and it works with rtl languages as well.
Editing of RTL languages is not supported ATM (and no estimations on when it will be) -- http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEABKL-5810

I have downloaded multiple OCaml IDE's / plugins and NONE of them work. I have no clue if I have a directory problem or if something else is at fault. I can access the OCaml console through cygwin just fine but it is not very useful for dealing with larger files. I am a total OCaml noob and have no clue how to fix my problems. I have been reading every post on OCaml here and nothing is helping. I am hoping that somebody can help me because this is very frustrating! Thanks to all who reply.
OCaml modes for Emacs and Vim work perfectly (and they run on MacOS and Windows, of course). I heard Geany works well as well.
I'm not saying everyone must learn Emacs and Vim; I understand that it's a kind of interface that beginners maybe don't want to get into -- and supporting other editors well for OCaml is a problem that we need to fix. But if you want reasonable support for pretty much every kind of text format out there, they're still good choices.
Finally, if you have a decent terminal / command-line (if you are on Windows that might require running a GNU/Linux virtual machine), pretty much every editor will be fine if you compile stuff by hand from the terminal (which is not particularly hard). In-Editor support will still provide you with a better experience, in particular allowing to jump right to the place in your code where the compiler says there is an error, but as a beginner you can go a long way without even that.
PS: it would be extremely useful if you took the time to spell out precisely what your problem with each tool was, and send that information to the respective maintainers. I think the main problem with these tools is the lack of testers. Help the future people that will try these tools by helping the maintainers fix them!
I'v recently looked at OcaIDE for eclipse - and it seems to work.
You need perhaps set some configuration variables (paths to ocaml compiler,...), but I don't remember any quirks.
I would like to thank everybody for their help. I finally found some installation instructions for the tuareg mode in EMACS. In case anybody else is having the same problem that I was there are VERY clear instructions here
How to install tuareg
Hopefully I can now translate some stuff into OCaml that I have been working on in other languages and post some of my projects. Thanks again for all of the help.
You can use Notepad++ for Windows. It is more intuitive for than Vim or Emacs for the beginners. And it has a syntax highlighting for Caml and you can assign hotkeys for compiling executing the program.
I would suggest using OcaIDE. I've done some fairly large projects with it, and it's not bad. Emacs (with Tuareg mode) is also a good option. If you're having trouble with setup, I wrote a guide for OS X: http://www.princeton.edu/~crmarsh/ocaml_dev_environment/
Is there a good editor/ide/add-on for sproutcore out there?
I use Jetbrains WebStorm.
Good support for js, not SC specific, but somehow it does very good highlighting for SC as wel and syntax errors.
Also not heavyweight (read slow).
I like it very much, tried a couple of other before.
Intype is also nice, less syntax help and other features.
E-text editor is windows version of Textmate with less features, more mature then Intype.
TextMate has a SproutCore bundle which is helpful - at the very least it runs JSLint on your .js files at save time, which stops a lot of basic syntax errors.
I use intellij. you can ctrl-click into most methods, and the warnings that it provides are close to what jslint will give you. You can also autocomplete.
I'm using JetBrains Ruby Mine. It's pretty smart. Coding hinting has built in integration got GitHub and from what I can tell pretty light weight. Refactoring is pretty awesome too. One of the best I've seen.

Which IDE or TextEditor do you use to write R code?
I've been using Eclipse/StatET. However, there's a new FLOSS IDE that was released today that looks interesting called RStudio. It even supports Sweave, so once it becomes more polished I may switch. User input seemed a little sluggish when I played with it earlier today however.
Update
They have been actively updating RStudio every month or two. It's been months since I encountered even a minor bug. And the features added are really useful--seamless package development and native Git support being the two that come to mind.
This is ultimately a very subjective question, and will depend on your OS, etc.
I prefer Eclipse (StatET) because I use it for all my development and it has many rich features (e.g. SVN integration, Sweave/Latex integration, project management). If you use Emacs, then ESS is great. This clearly depends on what you like.
I used Tinn-R before, but ultimately I prefer to have one IDE for everything, and Eclipse has a much wider general adoption.
I use Eclipse with the StatET plugin.
Pros:
Supports everything you'd expect (syntax highlighting, code folding, etc..) but also has s ome nice R interaction pieces.
You get all the bells and whistles of Eclipse. For example, we use SVN with our R code and the Subclipse plugin is awesome.
Cons:
Eclipse is a beast.
My preferred tool on all platforms is the ESS mode for Emacs.
I've been using TINN-R for several years and have been very happy with it. It allows you to highlight portions of your code and click to send it to the interpreter, or send one line at a time or the entire file.
I actually use Textmate and enjoy it quite a bit. But I wouldn't recommend adopting Textmate for R, however if you already use Textmate it's fantastic.
I use Jedit along with Romain Francios's edit mode for R (http://romainfrancois.blog.free.fr/index.php?post/2009/03/16/A-better-jedit-edit-mode-for-R).
I'm not really familiar with the R-Project but I use PSPad.
It allows you to organize your (text-)files in a project style fashion.
I'm tired of Dreamweaver overwriting wrong files on the server,
so I'm looking for an alternative.
I want color-coding and possibility to open/save and edit files direct from the server, so I don't need to save files on my desktop first.
I'm using Windows.
Every web developer should be hand-writing their mark-up - all forms of automated abstraction inhibit your understanding and awareness of the code and create maintenance problems for the future. I'm quite a zealot about this, you may be able to tell.
On that basis, I can heartily recommend Editplus: has code colouring, FTP and a huge amount of feature-sugar from line duplication to macros.
Notepad++ extended with some plugins is a really handy replacement. Though I can't call it IDE, it does virtually everything a developer need. In my case (a lot of repetitive code) Texter (a small app working in background) makes notepadd++ even more handy. So, my suggestion is: Notepad++ and Texter.
I switched to notepad++ when I had the same kind of problems with DreamWeaver. I tried some other programs too, but they were too complicated for my needs.
If all you need is color-coding and ftp-support, notepad++ is a good choice.
Visual Web Developer Express, which is the lightweight version of Visual Studio.
http://www.microsoft.com/express/
If you're using a Mac you should take a look at Coda
Well personally I use Programmer's Notepad but it doesn't support the facility to upload files to the server. You could get Notepad++ and this FTP plugin. I haven't tried Notepad++ but I'm sure that it isn't WYSIWYG.
Perhaps KompoZer? It has all the features you've asked for, and there's a Windows version (as well as Mac and Linux).
Dreamweaver... Not my cup of tea, because it lacks good support for modern web programming with Javascript or PHP.
For primary design, I use WeBuilder from Blumentals. Its also a good and not expensive PHP and Javascript IDE with debugging support and also has good CSS support with a built-in CSS editor.
I'm not a big fan of text editors like Notepad++ as an IDE replacement, because you often need a lot of additional plug-ins to have similar features like a IDE. But for some files or quick editing nothing can beat such editors (I like Notepad++ the most on Windows).
So for Windows I would prefer WeBuilder for all things (design & programming).
You use only Windows? For Linux there are other alternatives too ;)
When I searched an alternative for the Dreamweaver for PHP, I found some IDEs and one among them is Netbeans. Soon it became my favorite for my object oriented coding.
Here is the download page.
This has support for Zend and Symphony frameworks.
They also support File uploading.
When developping in PHP, I generally use Eclipse PDT.
If you are more oriented towards HTML/CSS/Javascript, you might be interested by Aptana, which is based on Eclipse too... Which means it can use lots of plugins, including some to work directly on a server, I suppose (see TM/RSE, for instance).
Note than Aptana can also be installed into an existing Eclipse installation, as a plugin.
Oh, also, I almost forgot : Eclipse is free, and there are both a free and a commercial version of Aptana.
(One bad thing about Eclipse being it requires a quite powerful computer -- at least 2 cores and 2 GB of RAM, if you want to use any other application at the same time...)
E Text Editor, a Textmate clone for Windows, claims to have FTP Support. But i haven't used this feature before.
I want color-coding and possibility to open/save and edit files direct from the server, so I don't need to save files on my desktop first.
The Zeus editor can highlight and fold HTML files, it integrates with HTML Tidy and can seamless edit files from the server via ftp/sftp.
It also has support for a host of other languages (i.e C/C++, C#, Java, Javascript, PHP, etc etc)
Does anyone know of an alternative IDE for Sybase Powerbuilder? It feels pretty clunky, after working with VS2008 and Eclipse.
If not, has anyone successfully worked with this language outside the IDE? I'm not against using a simple text editor, but I find edit-import-regenerate-test-export-edit is clunkier than simply using the Powerbuilder editor.
To date, the only tools I have had any success with are:
PowerGen, for builds (with NUnit and CruiseControl.NET)
ConTEXT, which has syntax highlighting for Powerbuilder
PBL Peeper, which has some interesting features not present in the IDE
EDIT: I added a bounty to draw some wider attention to the question. It would be a very nice thing to have, if it exists.
EDIT: Well that was disappointing. The bounty apparently did not cause even 1 new person to look at the question.
None that I'm aware of, although you could probably use a source control tool, edit in your source control repository, and Get Latest Version from the PB IDE to shorten your text editor cycle. Be warned that there are hacks required to edit anything over 128 ASCII. (My guess is that this is to allow everything Unicode to be source controlled in the most restrictive source control tools.)
As Paul said, PB12 is coming with based on the Visual Studio shell, and will include things like collapsible code blocks, Intellisense, etc.... However, for PB12, this will only be used for WPF targets and a few .NET-type targets (like assemblies), last I heard. Win32 targets will continue to use the "classic" IDE.
Good luck,
Terry.
P.S. Thanks for the PBL Peeper compliment.
The PowerBuilder IDE is clunky, but I don't think developing completely outside the PowerBuilder IDE is a good idea. I think there are just too many dependencies right now.
However, the IDE for PowerBuilder 12 will be built using Microsoft's Visual Studio Isolated Shell so it ought to be much better when that is released. Also, I believe they'll be doing away with the PBL format which ought to make source control much easier to work with.
Certainly something to watch.
What I do is right-click the object and edit source. Then I copy the text and paste it into Notepad++ to edit. I copy and paste back to PowerBuilder, then I can save and see any errors. I've got a fairly decent User Defined Language for PowerScript if anyone's interested.
Added:
Please be aware that I've seen the PB Source editor corrupt DataWindows. They were all large DataWindows. To be safe always export DataWindows to edit.
One tool that will most probably make your PB experience way better is Visual Expert, which provides a good source browser. Such a tool should have been integrated into the PB IDE a long time ago, IMHO. Only problem is that it's not free, as opposed to the other tools you mention.
Regarding using external source editors, you can probably take advantage of OrcaScript, which is a scripting language that lets you perform actions such as export and import of PB objects from outside of the IDE. It will require some effort, but you can setup a basic dev env using batch files with ORCA scripts and some additional external tools. However, this setup will lack any visual editing capabilities, which means no (feasible) GUI or DW work. If you're mostly into NVOs, it could work. But then if that's the case, why use PB in the first place?...
I too have heard PB12's use of VS will be limited to some .NET stuff, which will probably benefit only a very small portion of the PB programmers community. I'm afraid the rest of us are stuck with the awful IDE for years to come.
Other than exporting the source and editing it I don't know of another IDE for PB. One problem you may have is that the exported source contains a lot of syntax that is not documented in the manuals. The PB IDE generates this code but there is no support for creating it by hand. I think you are stuck with the PB IDE
In my modest five Years of experiences starting with Powerbuilder 5/6, now using PB 10, I tempt to :
build my own browser from the classdefinition object based on Powerbuilder
tried to use autohotkey in order to open datawindows comfortable (we have several thousands in the project and i am two-finger-driven)
truly investigated in the idea using an external editor/IDE suppoted by an autohotkey script which is undermined by sybase allowing only mouse-click-usage of PB
using Visual Expert which is neither a truly integration in the IDE, nor is really worth in analyzing datwindow/powerscript interaction
ending by build hopes on PB12 Visual Studio, which lacks - depending on compatibility issues - ...
... i came to the conclusion that there will be no chance in improving Powerbuilder to an state-of-the-art language
In my philosophy - I obtained during those years - I distinguish between two types of OOP-oriented languages:
the one that award using object-orientation like C#, Python, Ruby (C++) etc. and very much the Java-Eclipse/Netbeans-Universe does
the other one that punish using object-orientation like Powerbuilder and the old Visual Basic, for example (which is causative the OOP-Idea comes afterwards and is "plugged in").
Especially the demand that all object should always be compiled (regenerated) and that you could't work with ancestors and descandants concurrently makes it painful to use real OOP.
...In memory of the good old Unix(Solaris)/C++ days...
I was researching a replacement solution that would be similar to PowerBuilder and I came across two that caught my eye.
The first was 'React Studio' https://reactstudio.com/ which I found via Alternativeto.net .
And the second was from an ad at the top of some Google searches but it was similar enough and looked good enough at first glance for me to want to take a closer look at it, and it's called 'Servoy' https://servoy.com/ .
Still researching but I currently have React Studio at the top of our list.
The TextPad editor has a syntax definition file for PowerBuilder 6.x contributed by anr#aon.at that I downloaded for free and customized several years ago. It works fine for later versions (including 8), doing keyword color highlighting on PowerScript srx files. Editing large source files in PB could get it to crash so it's usually safer, faster and more convenient to export to srx file, edit outside the IDE then re-import.
