Text editor plugins

Text editor plugins

• Brewer: rbrcurtis's Brewer project browser based editor uses the ace editor (which cloud9 also uses) to show the compiled JS alongside your coffeescript, much like the coffeescript homepage, and runs a simple nodejs webserver on your machine to provide file manipulation functionality.

• Browser: Fiddle Salad has an online IDE with CoffeeScript syntax highlighting, auto-complete, preview of compiled JS, and a CoffeeScript to JavaScript converter

Please add your comments to the bug tracker if you would like to see CoffeeScript support in other jetbrains products than just RubyMine, with all of the features one would expect from a jetbrains product (completion, inspections/intentions, auto-fix, go-to-definition, etc).
