Hi Ed,
we are about to add Xtext 2.11.0 to the aggregation repository.
Unfortunately there is at least one version constraint which prevents us adding 2.11.x version to the M5 common repository.
I'm afraid we will be able to add 2.11 only in M6
Regards,
Dennis.

Hi Andreas,
unfortunately, there is little interest in the intellij idea support of Xtext and high maintenance effort on the other side.
So we didn't come around to update them as part of this release. That said it would still be possible to update and publish them, but someone has to do it.
Contributions are very welcome!
Regards,
Sven

Yes, I know it is bad news and I am sorry about it.
We went for a deep native integration with IDEA, but unfortunately they break us on a regular basis (I don't blame them, as we also use internal APIs especially in the tests).
It turned out to require relatively high effort and very few contributors willing to work on it. Still there are some contributors and I am all open for more contributions in this area, of course!
Personally, I think a more practical solution would be LSP support in IDEA, which would be not as native and deep but much less maintenance. (please vote here, if you agree: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEABKL-7409)
Building an Xtext language for idea should work, though, and in case there are compatibility issues it should be possible to fix them through dependency injection.
But we haven't updated the plugins in the jetbrains repo, yet.
