Hi,   Here is an example which uses a lot of gdsl concepts. This example tries to simulate injecting properties to Domains.   The Example is as follows: (The code is self explanatory and can be used as a reference) [java] import com.intellij.patterns.PsiJavaPatterns import com.intellij.patterns.PlatformPatterns def mongoContext = context( ctype: PsiJavaPatterns.psiClass().withName(PlatformPatterns.string().matches(/.*/)) ) contributor(mongoContext) { def […]
