Versatile software engineer with a background in .NET consulting and CMS development. Working on regaining my embedded development skills to get more involved with IoT opportunities.
I feel like your best bet to "do it the rightish way" would be creating some sort of code generator which could either parse the Java stdlib, pull method signatures from library files, or maybe even read code-completion data from another IDE like Eclipse. But I can see that getting out of hand and becoming a thesis project really quickly, haha.
I have used Flow before, and there is definitely a lot less support in terms for editor/IDE extensions, and I had the impression that the project had lost a lot of steam.
Thanks for posting this adventure though, I always love reading the insightful questions you post!
