As an android developer, I find the adt plugin for eclipse to be very useful and time-saving, when developing/maintaining my apps. Therefore, I suggest developing an eclipse plugin for mod creation. This plugin can implement many features that would speed-up setting and developing apps, such as: * The ability to create a new mod, which will setup the folder hierarchy and base files automatically. * The ability to use "new -> block" (\entity\mob\item\etc), that will generate a class file for it, and implement (inherit) required methods. * A string\constant manager (gui) for sorting them better. * When doing any of the above (or similar\related) actions, the IDE will automatically update base operations of the mod (like registering new item, etc). * And more... The best part is that we can actually use wanted parts of the adt plugin as a base for our Eclipse MC plugin, as it is open-source. Furthermore - porting the plugin to intellij shouldn't be much of an headache. I believe that although this is only a side project for the mod dev community, it'll be VERY appriciated by it. It would also attract new devs to create mods, as the process will be much more direct - focus on the content, instead of settings things up. Also: a proper javadoc file with descriptions for each method/member would be nice. - btw, I'm not yet into mod dev, as I don't have much time for it right now, but I hope to get into it soon.
