I have been using the IntelliJ IDE for development on my macbook pro. I am not moving to a new macbook and will be installing the IntelliJ IDE on that system.
How can I migrate everything useful like installed plugins, settings, etc from the older system to the new system.
Use File | Manage IDE Settings... | Export/Import Settings... actions.
Note that this action is unavailable if you have a settings repository configured or if you have enabled Settings Sync.
See more in a related Share IDE settings documentation topic.

Every single time I create a new project in IntelliJ IDEA it sets its version control system to Subversion. It's kind of annoying to disable it manually every time. How do I disable it for good, so that the default option for version control is "none"?
There is no setting which disables version control by default for new projects but we can disable the Subversion (or Git or Mercurial or ...) plugin generally.
To do that:
Go to File/Settings/Plugins
Choose tab Installed
Look for the Subversion plugin, disable it by removing the tick and clicking "Apply":
Optional:
Disable Git version control:
untick Git Integration (this will disable Github and Google Cloud Tools Core, Google Cloud Tools For Android Studio too)
Disable Mercurial version control:
untick Mercurial Integration
Do you use Maven by chance? There is an issue with VCS detection for maven projects. See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-115100
I've been using IntelliJ IDEA on my Mac for too long. My company asked me to use their laptop but I need all my plugins and settings. I've never used IntelliJ IDEA on another computer so maybe it's easy, I really don't want to install all the plugins one by one since there are too many.
Settings can be moved using File | Manage IDE Settings | Export Settings / Import Settings or the Settings Repository plug-in.
As for the plugins, just copy the plugins folder from one system to another.
Can you use standalone + JRebel remote?
I have my IDE on Box A
I have my App on Box B
I want to be able to make gradle build on Box A and automatically have B hot deploy that.
If Possible I'd like all this needs to work without The intelliJ plugin because it's broken and produces the wrong paths to lib locations in our complex gradle project.
No.
Synchronization with remote servers can only done via JRebel IDE plugin.
If you have any troubles with the IDE plugin or the Gradle plugin, please contact support at support#zeroturnaround.com
It's not possible to use JRebel remoting without the IDE plugin as the remote server does licensing checks during a sync transaction and classes simply copied to the remote .cache folder will be rejected otherwise.
However you can still setup a manual remoting setup. For example you can create a "virtual" workspace on BoxB where classes/jars/wars are copied after the build. In this scenario disable the remoting plugin and use standard rebel.xml-s which map to the workspace on BoxB.
When doing changes, simply copy the files from BoxA to BoxB e.g. using rsync and they will be reloaded as usual. However note that in this setup you must provide the server on BoxB with a valid license.
I had been developing an application on a trial version of IntelliJ 2016 Ultimate. Since the trial version ran out, I resumed work using the Community Edition. However, trying to launch my application yielded the following error:
Unknown run configuration type #com.intellij.j2ee.web.tomcat.TomcatRunConfigurationFactory
"No problem" I thought, just an incompatible plugin that was installed with Ultimate that I don't really need anyway. I opened the Plugins section of the Preferences menu, but I can't find the plugin in question. Below is a partial screenshot of the plugin list where I would expect to see the plugin listed in the error message.
The configuration can also not be edited from the Run/Debug Configurations menu, but lists the Run Configuration error as: "Broken configuration due to unavailable plugin or invalid configuration data."
Am I really unable to uninstall the Ultimate plugin preventing my run configuration from working from the Community Edition? What can I do to fix this if so?
It's have been a long time since this question was launched but it might be useful for new searches.
I got the same error with Dart and Flutter.
Just go to Menu >> File >> Settings. Then type plugins on the search box. Check if your plugins need to be updated (in my case Dart and Flutter). I the screenshot I had clicked in the "update" green button. So it turns into "Restart IDE" text. It should fix the problem once you restart the IDE.
To the best of my knowledge the community edition of IDEA will not load and run plugins that are not compatible with it. Moreover, by default, the community edition uses a different configuration directory than the Ultimate edition. So unless you modified the config directory to use, the community version should not be picking up the Ultimate Edition's plugins. Based on the error you show, I think the issue is you simply need to delete that Run configuration. The error is saying that that Run configuration wants to use a Plugin (The Tomcat Plugin) that is not available (i.e. not installed).
If you still want to confirm what plugins are installed, you can manually uninstall a plugin by removing it from the plugins directory. Note that some plugins are simply a standalone JAR, in the plugins directory, others are sub-directories within the plugins directory. Just delete the JAR or sub-directory.
That plugins directory is the idea config directory. See Directories used by the IDE to store settings, caches, plugins and logs for information on its location. On windows for example, by default it will be:
Ultimate: C:\Users\UserName\.IntelliJIdea2016\config\plugins
Community: C:\Users\UserName\..IdeaIC2016\config\plugins
UPDATE
I forgot to mention... bundled plugins are in ${idea-install-directory}/plugins. So for the ultimate edition, the Tomcat plugin is in ${idea-install-directory}/plugins/Tomcat. That is why, as you mentioned in your comment below, you are not seeing that plugin in the user installed plugin directory I mentioned above.
updating flutter and android studio worked in my
case
Simple upgrade Dart plugin..
Go to Settings/Plugins/Browse Repositories and search dart (Language) and upgrade
this will work.
I had a similar worded issue "Run Configuration Error: Broken configuration due to unavailable plugin or invalid configuration data."
In the bottom right part of the Rider IDE, you will see a popup that says
"Plugin supporting feature (Run Configuration[UNITY_ATTACH_AND_PLAY]) is currently disabled."
Click enable plugins, and restart when Rider asks you to do so.
If this does not work, remember that one possible reason is the issues with macOS indexing (my Macbook started to malfunction after its battery hit 0). A way to check is to try and search a file from the top right corner(). If you can not find existing files, this means macOS messed up with indexing.
To solve it, click Apple icon on top left side and go to System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy Tab -> Add all folders to the "won't index" box -> Remove everything you have added so they get reindexed.

Lastly, go to Rider and hit File -> Invalidate Caches and Restart.
I'm developing an intellij plugin supposed to be used in android studio.
I've already setup the plugin development environment, but when I hit "Run" command it starts a new intellij instance with the plugin installed.
What I'm looking for is how to run the plugin directly on Android Studio, is that possibile? The only place where I think it can be configured is from "Run configurations" but I do not find anything useful there.
Thanks
You can specify the platform to run on in the IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK settings, under Platform Settings | SDKs in the Project Structure settings. Point the IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK home path to your Android Studio installation.
Another option is to create a new Plugin Run Configuration. In the Run Configuration it is possible to specify the JRE to run on. Click on the ... button there and select an Android Studio installation directory (e.g. /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents on the Mac). This way it is possible to create a Run Configuration for all IntelliJ Platform IDEs you want to test your plugin on.
