I created PersistentStateComponent which looks like this
#State(name = "MyState", storages = [Storage("my_state.xml")])
class MyStatePersistence : PersistentStateComponent<MyState> {
...
}
and I registered it in plugin.xml:
<extensions defaultExtensionNs="com.intellij">
<applicationService serviceImplementation="com.example.MyStatePersistence"/>
</extensions>
I can't figure out where is file my_state.xml, which I specified. Is it located in project or what?
There are two kind of services, and both store their data in different locations.
A project service stores its xml file in the .idea directory that you find inside the root of the IDE project (or possible module when working with IntelliJ).
An application service stores its xml file in the options directory, which is located in the configuration directory.
In the sandbox IDE, this is build/idea-sandbox/config/options.
To summarize, on Linux, you can find the my_state.xml in ~/.config/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2022.2/options (for the latest IntelliJ version).
For similar situations in the future (on Linux) you could find the file by running find . -name "my_state.xml" in your home directory.

I have created the default play application in IntelliJ in directory P. I have over-written the default index.scala.html with my own html code. The html code refers to some css and js files which are outside the directory P. To include these external files, I added the directory of these files using project configuration settings.
My webpage doesn't load properly as the server returns 404 for the css and js files. What am I doing wrong?
When you added your directory using project structure, you only say:
Hey, IDEA, please consider this folder part of my project, consider
its contents source code and display it when I open my project.
However, when you deploy or run your app, you only deploy the usual folders to the server, which contain the resources which will be available for clients to access.
The external directory is not part of these directories and will not be deployed.
What you can do is to copy the file from the external directory as a part of your build process before deploying the application.
EDIT: Detailed answer here: What is intellij's build process for play applications
We have multiple developers working on a shared project through dropbox. Each time one of the developers saves a file, the other developers get the following message:
"Project Files Changed
Project components were changed externally and cannot be reloaded:
ToolWindowManager
Would you like to reload project?"
How can each person have their own settings in a shared project so this is not a problem?
You should use VCS (Version control systems) as for example git, and ignore the IDE configuration files (.gitignore), so you can avoid the conflicts with the configuration files
I have a situation where my module names need to be in a certain format. Typescript is fine when I do this:
// knockout interfaces, this is knockout.d.ts
declare var ko: KnockoutStatic;
declare module "core!lib/knockout" {
export = ko;
}
And then in my file that uses it:
import ko = require('core!lib/knockout');
IntelliJ doesn't like it though. It says "cannot find external module 'core!lib/knockout'. I'm using the latest stable version (14.1) and this happens with the in-built 1.4 compiler and a custom one.
I guess this may be a Jetbrains bug?
If you add this to the file with the import statement the error will probably go away
/// <reference path="test.ts" />
The real problem I think is that the configuration isn't fully correct. Is the config root correct or are you maybe using version control?
Relevant bits from the link:
From the Scope drop-down list, choose the scope to apply the compiler in. The available options are: – Project Files: all the files within the project content roots (see Content Root and Configuring Content Roots).
– Project Production Files: all the files within the project content roots excluding test sources.
– Project Test Files: all the files within the project test source roots.
– Open Files: all the files that are currently opened in the editor.
VCS Scopes: these scopes are only available if your project is under version control.
– Changed Files: all changed files, that is, all files associated with all existing changelists.
– Default: all the files associated with the changelist

I have written a java Servlet web application, using NetBeans 7.2.1. The program have some jar file libraries that I have attached to the project. The application runs fine using NetBeans and Apache Tomcat 7.0.27.
My problem is that some of the jar file libraries that I am using in the project, need to access to some folders and files. I put these folder and files on the same directory as the whole NetBeans project is. but I got this exception:
Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException
So I used these codes to find out where should I put them:
out.println("current directory: " + new File(".").getAbsolutePath());
out.println("current directory: " + System.getProperty("user.dir"));
out.println("current directory: " + getServletContext().getRealPath(("/")));
So I figured out that the current working directory is:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 7.0.27\bin
My question is that how can I set different directory address for each web application? I have many web applications and some of them use the same resource file names. I can't just put all of them in one directory.
Please note that I don't have access to the source code of jar files to change the. I just need a way to set the absolute path that the jar files use.
I have the same problem when I put the WAR file on the unix server. The extracted WAR file is in this location on the server:
/data02/tools/Apache/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.37/webapps/BANNEROnline
But I figure I should put the resource folders and files in this path (moosavi3 is my username!):
/home/moosavi3
How can I change the path?
The working directory is the directory from which java.[exe,bin] is started. I assume the bin directory is where the tomcat start-up script is? If the jars are all using this working directory I don't believe there is a way to make different web-apps have different working directory, they're all loaded on the same jvm (java.exe) from the same working directory.
A working directory is the directory from which a binary is started, it is not some arbitrary value that you can change.
I suspect these jar files where meant to be run as standalone applications and expected the filesystem resources they are trying to access to be in the same location as themselves.
Any filesystem resources would have to be moved to the location of your java.exe so that the correct file path resolution can result from your jars.
Standard Servlet project requires external libraries to be placed in the 'WEB-INF/lib' directory under project root. You can search google for 'servlet directory structure' and do your own research for more information. Shared libraries between web applications can be placed in the 'lib' directory under tomcat root, they should be picked up by tomcat jvm. My recommendation would be to keep the dependencies project specific, because you may need different versions in different projects in the future.
Update:
Read this page on the tomcat documentation, it will explain exactly how the project should be structured, and how to add a library that will be shared across all web applications:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/appdev/deployment.html
Update 2:
The following Stackoverflow link explains several options how to add a static file to your web application, that will available at runtime.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/2161583/940754
Update 3:
Add a path to the classpath using the project's manifest:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/downman.html
I would like to create a script to modify my debug configuration in intellij. The path of tomcat changes, and i have to manually go into the run config and edit things. I have tried to find the place where intellij stores these settings to no avail.
question: does anyone know where IJ stores its run configuration
The location would depend on 2 factors, whether the configuration is local to the user or shared with the other developers and if you are using the file based (legacy) or the directory based project format.
File based project, local configuration: .iws file
Directory based project, local configuration: workspace.xml file under .idea directory
File based project, shared configuration: .ipr file
Directory based project, shared configuration: .xml file under runConfigurations subdirectory of .idea directory or files inside .run directory in the project root (you can customize the location of the shared configurations in the latest versions).
Its here .idea\runConfigurations (correct for Idea 11). Just copy this folder to new project.
EDIT: As per comment, if runConfigurations folder doesn't exist, check the 'Share' box inside the Run/Debug configuration
