Intellij Idea plugin repositories are not accessible - intellij-idea

Try to install a plugin. Idea could not connect to the repo. I looked through other questions like this, tried to turn off an antivirus software and a firewall, checked IPv4 option in the vm config (it's set to true). Any other ideas, please?
Idea is installed on a Win 10, through a ToolBox.

The problem was in the path - installation root of Intellij contained Russian (non-ASCII) characters. I moved all the JetBrains tools to c:/ and this solved the issue. This can be done via the ToolBox functionality.

Using Intellij With Remote Server

I have a dev *nix box. For most cases I can just ssh into the box and use emacs to develop. However, as I've started doing more Java work with very large codebases, I've realized IntelliJ IDEA is pretty invaluable.
Problem: I would like to use IntelliJ IDEA on OS X, but work with a project located on some other machine. Is there a way to configure IntelliJ IDEA to do this? (over ssh/mosh/or whatever)
Thanks.
I ended up just using IntelliJ locally and pointing it to a mounted server drive.
I assume that by "project" you actually mean the application that is running on a remote box? In IntelliJ IDEA, there's an option for remote server configuration. It is also possible to edit individual files at remote hosts if that's a requirement.

IntelliJ Run Configuration Broken by an Incompatible Plugin I Can't Uninstall?

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.

Eclipse Color Theme: "Color Theme" not showing up

I'm trying to change how I work so I don't get a headache after 8 hours of sitting at the computer so I want to play with colors in Eclipse to see if it helps.
I've heard praise of this Eclipse Color Theme plugin.
I install in via the Eclipse Marketplace, I drop a .xml file theme into the "dropins" directory in eclipse directory located on my hard drive, select window->prefrences->general->apperence->??? where is "Color Themes"? It's just not there!
Anyone know what could be the issue? I am running Eclipse Juno EE with one other plugin EGit.
Install manually? I've already reinstalled the Color Theme plugin twice now!
[SOLUTION] I just found out the problem from the help of another post. I was not running as Administrator as my Program Files directory is protected. Answer: Always run Eclipse as Administrator or on a Linux system SUDO. My files were not installed due to the lack of privileges.
No, the right answer is to unzip eclipse at a location, where it can write, even without root/admin access. Do not put Eclipse into the "program files" folder.
Historically, eclipse has been designed to be able to modify itself in place, and you will be running into trouble every now and then, when your installation cannot do that and you didn't point it to a writable configuration area via eclipse.ini settings.
Help->Install New Software->Add
Name: Color Theme
Location: http://eclipse-color-theme.github.com/update
After install this, will show the Option in the Menu.

eclipse scala plugin, scala project type missing

After installing the scala eclipse plugin on helios the scala project type is missing, there is no scala options in the preferences and no other indication that installation has worked. Then when I check 'what is already installed' in the install new software window I can see that the plugin is there....
I can replicate the same problem across several machines in the office however I'm able to install on my own machine at home without a problem....
anyone got any ideas/tips on how to troubleshoot this ??
thanks in advance
Looks like not everything was installed properly.
Before figuring out what is going on, try answering these questions:
In preferences, look for JDT Weaving. Is it enabled?
Any errors in your error log?
What version Eclipse are you running?
For your office machines is Eclipse installed in a read-only directory or C:\Program Files?

Force.com IDE - Eclipse Plugin doesn't work?

I'm new to Apex and have just downloaded Eclipse to get to work
Eclipse SDK 3.3.2
I've followed the instructions on
http://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php/Force.com_IDE_Installation_for_Eclipse_3.3.x
and have added the Remote site:
http://www.adnsandbox.com/tools/ide/install/
but i get a dialog telling me
"No features found on the selected site(s). Choose a different site or site category"
Any ideas what i've done wrong??
Thanks
Dan
Try that process from a clean eclipse install, and repeat the installation steps, making sure that before clicking on "Finish" you unselect the checkbox at the lower left: "Ignore features not applicable to this environment".
Also, check if http://www.adnsandbox.com/tools/ide/install/ is accessible from your workstation.
Please check your proxy setting by accessing "http://www.adnsandbox.com/tools/ide/install/" URL in any of browser and update proxy setting in eclipse.
Force.com now has a standalone development environment that you don't need to download Eclipse for. Just putting it out there for people who stumble across this post.
Install the latest Eclipse Ganymede and try that.
Another good news for you is, force.com is coming with Eclipse galileo plugin in coming release.
