IntelliJ will read through, and then you'll be able to autocomplete and see everything the collector has to offer. We have some internal documentation I can see about getting published, but it's fairly easy to do.

    You may need to delete the xml-apis JAR or IntelliJ will complain, if you're doing XML parsing.

Awesome, thanks. I'll give this a shot.
