refactoring and intellisense

Using CW4.6 for HC(S)12 Pro on WinXP Pro

Previously I have used Slickedit with a command line c compiler. Slickedit has refactoring features, intellisense and will display detailed function prototypes and function descriptions. I have also used ReSharper plug-in with MSVS. ReSharper in the hands of a compentent user is incredibly productive. Without getting into the discussion about what IDE's should and should not do, what can I do to have these tools with CW? After I'm done with processor expert I wouldn't mind generating a makefile for a project and using Slickedit. Is this possible?

There is a way to make the Codewarrior IDE work with a third-party editor. The setting is under the IDE's preferences. Choose Edit | Preferences, and then select the IDE Extras panel. There is an item labeled Use Third Party Editor that you configure to make the magic work. For more information, consult the 8_16bit_IDE_User's_Guide.pdf manual that came with your CodeWarrior installation. Check chapter 21, Prefeences and Target Settings, under the "Launch Editor" section.

For creating make files, consult the Build_Tools_Utilities.pdf manual. Study the chapter titled Maker: The Make Tool for more info.

Well I understand that I can use a different editor but that seems pretty useless without being able to build and I have looked at the documentation, it's not worth it to me with at least a roughed in makefile auto generated from a working project.
