I'll give that a shot ta, will it only start a base IDE though? I need to test with the full EE stack. I'd imagine this will just start a development instance with that plugin installed. Will it work even though I'm working on core File System?

Really? When I develop my own plugins it installs in the IDE instance I'm using. Also, when auctioning it it presents a warning to the effect it can render the IDE unusable.
