I was searching for an IDE that would provide content assist while working with Java objects in CFCs and couldnt' find any. Does someone know of an IDE or if this feature exist?
Thanks!

I want to write a specialized plugin for WebStorm that can provide help for a custom framework, are there any tutorials on how to do that?
There is no WebStorm specific guide available, plug-ins are created exactly the same way as for IntelliJ IDEA.
You are welcome to ask more specific questions in the forum.
As #CrazyCoder says there is no specific official guide to write a Webstorm plugin. The reason is that all plugins are written in the same way, but you can decide for which IDE it will be available.
I found this post very helpful to start building a Webstorm plugin.
I've been working on some C++ code that some of the other developers I work with will use. A lot of the developers here are MS based (they use Visual Studio as their main IDE) we also have a lot of developers who use other IDE's as well for different projects (like Eclipse and Qt, even some C++ Mac development with XCode).
The code I have are generic library functions that are cross platform compatible, so it will be used by different developers on different platforms/IDE's. Which brings me to my question: is there a compatible Doxygen comment 'style' that can be 'understood' and used with the code completion ability by most popular IDE's (VS, Eclipse, Qt, Netbeans, XCode)?
Something like VS's IntelliSence where when you use your scope resultion a description pops up for that item.
If there is not a 'compatible' way, are there any plugins that can be used for all IDE's that would allow for this ability, or would I have to write my own? Googling has lead me to many dead ends (possibly because I may not be inputing my question into correct search terms), and writing my own plugins is an option, though I'd prefer a 'compatible' style or existing plugin if possible to save time.
Thanks in advance!
Edit 1: I should mention that I am requesting Doxygen style commenting becuase it is the documenting tool we use to build out some of our documentation thus all comments in any code we make must be Doxygen style (not sure why this issue never came up before here, haha)
So I have been struggling with this question for awhile now. In the past I have used several different software suites for development, with each having its own quirks in regards to using the documentation to drive some of the more fancy features. After working on a project in C# (and Visual Studio 2010) I have come to realize that the XML commenting seems to work the best for me.
I personally believe that this is a failure in most of the IDE applications themselves, for example, it seems that Visual Studio really only supports XML commenting for C# applications to feed features such as Intellisense, and the less fancy syntax highlighting. I have found that there is a commercial plugin available to "enable" this feature in Visual Studio, but why should I pay for something that just has not been enabled?
But I have diverged from your original question. When I was first researching this it seemed that Apple themselves must use Doxygen as they seem to use this standard for highlighting code already. With that said, here are some other resources to get the same functionality in other applications:
Atomineer Pro Documentation seems to be the tool for the job in regards to Visual Studio although I have not personally used it. It seems relatively simple to use.
Eclox seems to be a front-end plugin for Eclipse that actually uses Doxygen. But from what I remember you should be able to tweak the IDE itself in the C++ settings in regards to syntax highlighting.
Doxymacs maintains a symbol table inside of Emacs for some quick searching abilities.
It seems that on the Vim project page there's a script that handles this for that editor as well, it is called DoxygenToolkit.
I absolutely feel your pain. There's something warm and toasty about having a nightly crontab generate cleanly documented markup that is easily searchable. I have only recently been on a warpath for finding the best mechanism available for achieving this cross-platform. From what I've gathered most development environments support extensions of sorts, and since Doxygen is basically the "gold standard" there's usually one way or another to shoehorn support in if it doesn't exist out of the box.
If you're interested Doxygen actually supports the C# XML comments out of the box, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get it working in Xcode, and I'm not well versed enough in AppleScript to hack it together. But by all means please update if you do!
i found this autocompletion for Emacs: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoComplete, but I can't find what languages it supports.
I want to use it particular for C++-autocompletion. Has anybody experience with this?
As you can see from the User's Guide it has built-in support for C/C++ by means of Semantic. There is also one more tool from the auto-complete mode developer called GCC Sense, which he claims to be most intelligent tool for C/C++ programming and of course it integrates nicely with auto-complete so you might have a look at it as well.
Setup of Emacs with CEDET for autocompletion for C++ is described in my article. You can look to my CEDET config for working setup
I've been reading up on Doxygen online, and I think I'd like to try it out on my Netbeans C++ projects. The problem is, I cannot find any tutorials/guides anywhere to how to get Doxygen working with Netbeans. I've found some blog posts that seem to be about using Doxygen in Netbeans, but they seem semi-feature requesty, and I cannot tell if they are actual guides or just "this is what it should look like when it is done" posts. So, does anyone here have any experience of working with Doxygen and Netbeans?
There is no need for support from IDE to use Doxygen, you can use them separately. To create Doxygen documentation you just need a source code and Doxygen compiler.
However IDE can serve some kind of support. Netbeans allows you quickly create a comment (see here). That's the only support I know.
There is also plug-in "Doxygen Integration" but I never used it.
I am developing C++ in NetBeans 6.7.1. When I press CTRL + space for autocomplete there is shown only method's signature. I am using JavaDoc for commenting my code but NetBeans doesn't show it. I have installed Doxygen plugin but it is only for generating complete documentation.
Is there any way how to force the IDE to show signature and JavaDoc for C++ please?
I think that it should not be a problem because this functionality is currently implemented for Java.
Thanks a lot.
So I asked on NetBeans forum this question ( using friend's account because I don't have my own ) and there is the conclusion: It is impossible and it is in requests.
